About Solace & our Founder
Solace is a non-profit organization based in sunny
California, started by high-school student Andra Campos, a research intern at the All of Us Research program who did her research project proposal on providing outdoor workers with UV Sensors to collect data to support them. Solace is dedicated to promoting sun safety, especially for outdoor workers. We raise awareness about sun protection and provide education and resources to prevent skin damage. We have opened chapters at schools to raise donations for sunscreen and target outdoor workers, students, and the general public interested in sun safety.
