Help Build the Black Youth Tech and Digital Innovation Hub

Our Vision

The Future Black Female Tech and Digital Innovation Hub will be a dynamic space where Black youth learn, create, and lead in the digital economy. It will offer training in robotics, coding, digital design, entrepreneurship, and media production, connecting youth to meaningful work and economic opportunity.
