We aim to inspire future leaders to develop socially minded technology and raise awareness among non-profits on harnessing technology for social good.

We began during the COVID-19 pandemic when we saw students losing their internships and nonprofits facing technical challenges. We believe matching students with nonprofits and small businesses can empower future leaders in technology with skills in human-centered design.
