The camps provided hands-on learning experiences across multiple STEM disciplines, helping students build technical skills and prepare for academic success in the upcoming school year. Programs were delivered in partnership with local community organizations and colleges and were offered as half-session (June or July) or full-session summer experiences. In 2025, approximately 100 students participated across two camp locations, gaining exposure to STEM fields and developing problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
  3. $22,845 spent. The Black Boys in Tech Internship Program provided a structured certification and workforce readiness pathway for teens and young adults. Participants completed a six-month training and certification component focused on earning industry-recognized credentials, such as the CompTIA A+ certification, followed by a two-month paid summer internship experience. The program emphasized technical skill development, career readiness, and real-world work experience. In 2025, the organization successfully graduated 25 participants from its summer and fall internship cohorts, equipping them with credentials and practical experience to pursue careers in technology.
