Our Main Mission
Covard's main goal, and it's original purpose is to end the gender and race gaps in the sciencntific fields. Currently 73% of workers in the science fields are men, 67% of workers are white. That is 73% of salaries, and 67% of opportunities that are being missed.
Our Second Mission
"When creating Covard, I struggled with finding resources from sources that reflected my situation. Most guides written were for large scale companies, and specifically offered no information about starting an organization as a minor. So I added that to covards mission statement." -Grace Thomas. Covard's focus on highschoolers, is a way to help fix this problem. By allowing students into our buissness meetings and seeing how a company is run, it gives them confidence in starting their own entrepreneurial dreams and ideas.
Why is this important
