Studies have shown that historically underserved communities—such as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color, women, LGBTQ+ people, people with different abilities, neurodivergent people, immigrant and/or refugee populations—are less likely to apply for opportunities unless they meet every single qualification.
We are dedicated to building an inclusive, diverse, equitable, and accessible space that fosters a sense of belonging—so if you’re excited about this opportunity, we encourage you to still consider applying. The In/Tend Innovation Hub might be the right opportunity for you!
