About the FoundHER(s)
With the pandemic, discussing with my friends internationally and working with immigrant students in the Austin community made me realize that a lot of the students I was working with didn’t have access to the same resources or opportunities which I had growing up. Therefore, I started YouUnited to expand access to education so that people of all backgrounds can have the opportunities needed to grow and discover their passions so they will be able to do what they love.
About the Company
