STAND is dedicated to not only safeguarding the rights of Muslim students within the education system, but to helping them reach their highest potential. Our mission is to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and protect the fundamental principles of free speech and freedom of belief and practice through education and advocacy. To this end we are committed to working with other marginalized communities, concerned parents, students, faculty, administration, nonprofit organizations, and governmental entities. Our values demand that we nurture the diverse voices and experiences of students so they can achieve their loftiest dreams.

Our ultimate goal is to cultivate a nurturing and inclusive educational environment where every child can thrive, irrespective of their background or beliefs.
