Who We Are

Hack the Hood empowers Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities with the knowledge, skills, and relationships needed to succeed in tech careers. Through mentorship, culturally-relevant knowledge, 21st-century skills, and community partnerships, we believe youth can become creators of change in their communities.

Who We Serve

Youth

Hack the Hood serves under-resourced youth of color, ages 16-25, who are interested in pursuing tech-related careers, but who do not yet have access to the resources they need to succeed.

What We Do

Picture
The Hack the Hood bootcamp takes youth who usually have more experience consuming tech than producing tech and immerses them in a program where they learn tech and coding skills, work with tech professionals, and come to see themselves in tech careers— and have a plan how to get there. Over the 6-9 week program, young people practice the skills they are learning by serving as web developers and consultants for real-world local small businesses and community organizations in their community. They do this work in partnership with local tech company mentors who advise on development and design, local business networks who provide clients, and city governments that help with youth stipends and local awareness.
