Our Mission.

Space For Us is dedicated to making STEAM resources and careers in space sciences more visible and accessible to underserved communities, particularly minorities and BIPOC individuals of all ages, while also promoting dark sky protection and advocacy. Regardless of background, everyone should be able to explore and contribute to the infinite possibilities of space exploration and astronomy. 

Our mission is to empower and inspire the next generation of diverse space enthusiasts, spacefarers, and professionals and to foster an equitable and inclusive environment within space sciences and related fields. Through innovative programs and partnerships, we strive to ignite curiosity, build skills, expand opportunities, and foster an understanding of the importance of the dark sky for all who share our passion for the wonders of the cosmos.
