  • “It's an incredible joy to not only support Hack the Hood's mission, but bear witness to the thoughtful and intentional vision they have for their work. Their approach of unapologetically centering racial justice as a critical lens through which we view technology is inspiring and much needed, and Okta is thrilled to be among their partners.”

  • “Hack the Hood is a leader in the education and tech justice space. Their education philosophy aligns strongly with ours at the Warriors Community Foundation, and we are proud to call them our partners. We knew HtH had an impactful program, but their renewed focus and strategic plan position them to have an even deeper role setting underrepresented young people up for academic and career success in the tech field. We’re excited to see what’s next for them and look forward to continuing our partnership.”

  • “I believe in Hack the Hood because I've seen just how well they connect and bring out the best in our young people. They understand that there are limitless opportunities in tech and that we need everyone to help chart our future, not just those with good fortune and resources and not just those who fit the mold for deserving opportunity”.

  • “LegalZoom’s Women in Tech Employee Network is excited to support Hack the Hood in its mission to create a diverse technical workforce, focusing on projects that emphasize social justice tech solutions by and for the community. A diverse workforce is crucial to creating technology that serves all people, however, women, and especially women of color, hold an alarmingly low number of positions in our industry. Through our partnership with Hack the Hood we look to advance our goal to empower women of all backgrounds to start and grow their careers in tech”.
