Overview
Overview:
Hack the Hood is an award-winning non-profit that introduces low-income youth of color to careers in tech by hiring and training them to build websites for real small businesses in their own communities. During 6-week “Bootcamps,” young people gain valuable hands-on experience, build a portfolio, and learn about opportunities in the tech industry, as well as building critical technical, leadership, entrepreneurship, and life skills with mentorship from staff and tech professionals working in the field.
Hack the Hood is a diverse community of people who are passionate about making sure technology is used as a force for good, not a vehicle for increased income disparity and displacement. We want to support youth of color to harness their creativity and hone their talents, while also contributing to the vitality of their communities.

I don’t know much personally about this group, they simply came across my radar and I thought some of their work looked interesting.
