VISION STATEMENT

All too often, residents of vulnerable communities are simply told by "experts" what they and their neighborhoods need to achieve health, environmental justice, educational equality, or economic sustainability. At We Grok It!, we envision strong, resilient communities powered by residents who master the tools of scientific literacy and research. In these communities, residents are their own best advocates for social justice.

MISSION STATEMENT

We Grok It! fosters impactful scientific research on local issues. We nurture the development of citizen-scientists skilled at identifying important issues, designing and conducting relevant research studies, and communicating results to a wider audience -- thereby empowering residents to act as agents of change in their own communities.
