Our volunteers help us carry out our mission of empowering and sustaining a talent pipeline of young
technologists and digital leaders. TKH has partnered with numerous industry professionals with varying
spheres of influence within the tech space. These volunteers offer professional development, mentoring,
and interview preparation. Technical volunteers support fellows with study sessions, whiteboarding, and
coding challenges.
Whether you're a web developer who can create a curriculum or a non-tech professional who can conduct mock
interviews, there's a place for you in our Friends in Tech - Volunteer Initiative Program (VIP).
The Friends in Tech - VIP is also open to corporations interested in volunteering and sponsorship
opportunities. Each year, TKH invites corporations to sponsor our fellows' program needs like technology,
internet access, and cash assistance. Sponsor benefits include:
"I have been fortunate to have multiple mentors and teachers throughout my engineering career who helped me grow into the successful technologist I am today. I volunteer at TKH to give back to my community and help mentor and tutor others, especially those under-represented in the tech community. I derive immense satisfaction from seeing the students spend time and dedication learning complex topics in accelerated time frames. I am also extremely proud of the students using their learnings to work on projects to help better their communities and the world."
Our Friends in Tech - Volunteer Initiative Program connects companies and corporate professionals to diverse and ambitious local talent. Corporate volunteerism creates opportunities for our fellows and alums to access career and technical development as they break into the tech sector. We create engaging experiences for industry professionals to connect with aspiring technologists, cultivate talent, and participate in enriching work experiences.
