Creating Equality in Tech for Black Boys Black males make up less than 5% of the high tech workforce. Black boys from low performing and disadvantaged school districts are not being included in high tech education and increasingly face racial discrimination and inequality for education resources in this area. Black boys are brilliant and together we will "Create a new model where black boys can harness their unique innate abilities" and be included in the next digital revolution. Thank You
Black males make up less than 5% of the high tech workforce. Black boys from low performing and disadvantaged school districts are not being included in high tech education and increasingly face racial discrimination and inequality for education resources in this area. Without access to training in the STEM fields, the income to wealth gap is expanding and the average wealth of the black family is predicted to be $0 by 2050. Mission fulfilled 2030 is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization
The Young Tech Entrepreneurs Program will provide access to disadvantaged and underprivileged black boys so they can compete in the next digital technology revolution. By providing this type of technical programming and mentorship we can not only bridge the gap in the digital divide but make a significant impact on the income to wealth gap of black and white families. Whereas the tech sector provides the highest paying employment opportunities.
The goal of this campaign is to change this narrative for the next generation. Through this inaugural campaign, your contribution will have a direct impact on 1,000 black boys in technology in the Washington, DC Metro area. The Young Tech Entrepreneurs Program, where we will not only teach the latest technologies but teach our boys how to conceptualize and start their own tech companies.
