MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

We're running our second mentorship program from January to May 2025, in which we've matched 34 people early in their public interest technology careers with experts in the field. 


For the next five months, this cohort will have 1-on-1 sessions as well as monthly programming including; Mixers, presentations from public sector fellowship program leaders, and talks from leaders in product management, software engineering, cybersecurity, and data science across the public interest tech sector. Reach out if you want to give back and volunteer to be a part of presentations or talks with this cohort.


Demand for these programs is high. We got an overwhelming 169 applicants, 70% of whom identify as women, non-binary, or genderqueer, more than 75% of mentees identifying as people of color, and 40% of mentors identifying as people of color. We plan to launch another mentorship program geared towards support of further along in the career in early Spring 2025.
