Beyond the Code

Breaking into tech takes more than just coding skills. For young people of color, the path to life-changing tech careers depends on mentors who share their lived experiences, communities that celebrate their brilliance, and learning spaces that build both skills and confidence. That's why Hack the Hood goes beyond the code—providing comprehensive support that sparks possibility and transforms lives.

Today, we're launching our Beyond the Code campaign to raise $30,000 by December 31st. This bold initiative will empower the next generation of Black, Latinx, AAPI, and Indigenous tech leaders who will shape our digital future.

Here's the direct impact your gift will have in 2025:

- 280 aspiring tech leaders will gain access to our comprehensive training model

- Our new front-end web development program will open doors to in-demand careers

- Cutting-edge AI curriculum will position our students at the forefront of tech innovation
