South Bronx United was thrilled be part of the Develop for Good BOB Hacks program through Bloomberg this summer! Some more good things coming down the pipeline thanks to all of their summer. If you didn't know Develop for Good is a unique capacity building nonprofit matching organizations with undergraduate and graduate level students volunteers to complete skill based projects. In fact, our current website was developed by a Develop for Good team! If you work with a nonprofit you should connect with their team.
This summer, we collaborated with Bloomberg's Corporate Philanthropy and Engineering Recruiting teams to help pilot the Best Of Bloomberg (BOB) Hacks volunteer program 💻 During this 7-week program, 21 Bloomberg college interns and 8 mentors from Bloomberg's Engineering department applied design-thinking to develop technology solutions for nonprofits. This included gathering stakeholder requirements, prototyping solutions in a 12-hour hackathon, and pitching their proposals to our nonprofit partners. Together with them, Develop for Good will be exploring the further development of the tech projects proposed by Bloomberg interns. Many thanks to our friends at Bloomberg - Kristie Ramdeo, Morgan Quercia, Lumilla Laporte, Vanessa Luna, Malia Simonds, and Darlene Escobar - for the opportunity to support bringing this initiative to life. Big shoutout to CHANGE Arts' Executive Director Matt Freeman and South Bronx United's Executive Director Andrew So for their collaboration as our key nonprofit partners. #ImpactInAction

The seasons have officially turned and our calendar restarted with the new school year. We had an especially impactful summer with more programming than ever before—and even more to look forward to in the coming year. We want to thank the FIFA Foundation for their support, which has allowed us to expand our programming and create some exciting new opportunities for girls in our community. More to come soon! Thank you as well to the SBU Academy girls who jumped in for the photo on a much brighter and warmer day during our Summer Soccer Scholars program… #SoccerForSocialChange #KeepHerInTheGame
