Welcome to S.E.E.D.S.“They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds,” an old Mexican proverb that inspired the start of SEEDS. SEEDS, Strengthening and Empowering Educators of Diverse Statuses, is a student-led organization that focuses on meeting the unique needs of undergraduate students of color in the College of Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We strive to create a safe haven in which students are welcome to have an open dialogue about struggles, as well as build community through mentorships, strengthening ally relations, and engaging in community outreach. Members of SEEDS will have access to a variety of resources that will help them grow in their professional development journey.

Our StorySEEDS was founded in 2020 by a group of preservice teachers of color who were unheard in an education system that was never designed for people who look like them. We strive to be the change we want to see because we know that we are the future.
