The Knowledge House along with the I Stand With Immigrants Initiative is pleased to announce our partnership with multi-platinum recording artist and Bronx native, French Montana to launch the Karim Kharbouch Coding Fellowship Program for immigrant youth.

ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP

The Karim Kharbouch Fellowship Program supports immigrant youth residing in the Bronx- where French Montana & The Knowledge House have each developed their reputations as changemakers in music and technology education, respectively.

The Knowledge House will partner with local high schools to deliver an 80 hour Exploring Technology curriculum, which has already provided technology and coding skills exposure for 800+ Bronx youth, so that they are better prepared for college, the Future of Work, and careers in STEM.

Program participants will also have access to The Knowledge House staff who will coordinate immigrant resources for youth and families, as facilitated by Informed Immigrant and its network of service providers. This holistic partnership is truly groundbreaking in providing support and empowerment to our next generation of leaders who will uplift their communities.
