Mission of Techie Youth

Techie Youth's mission is to create economic opportunities for teens in foster care and at-risk youth by utilizing technology-focused career skills training to establish financial self-sufficiency and long-term professional stability. Our emphasis is on redirecting the life-path of youth and young-adults who are on a track towards homelessness or incarceration.

Our programs provide each participant with opportunity & attention; this is our core coaching ideology implemented by each Techie Youth team member.

Each youth participant receives an accelerated education in computer-based career training, tailored to their interests, with individualized coaching. Our goal is to empower them to become financially self-sustaining technology professionals.

🀩 Meet the Students of Techie Youth, hear their stories: homeless, foster care, LGBTQ, incarceration

Techie Youth https://www.TechieYouth.org) helps at-risk youth and teens in foster care learn professional IT computer career skills so they can be financially self-sufficient. Many of our youth have been homeless, incarcerated, in foster care, living in shelters or group homes (US-version of an orphanage), abused, abandoned by parents, etc. Many of our youth are pregnant or parenting children of their own, are transgender or LGBTQ+, are in juvenile probation or 2nd-chance alternative sentencing programs, etc.
The Techie Youth accelerated training program is designed specifically for the needs of youth from these demographics to rapidly provide them with high-potential technology career skills.
