About us
Our Mission: We will enable the next generation of Hispanic technology talent, through a lifecycle that begins with students and uses the power of its community to continuously inspire forward. Shaping the technology of tomorrow begins with cultivating the leadership potential of today’s youths. In order to increase Hispanic representation in technology, the HITEC Foundation addresses the issues that impact underserved students in middle school, high school and college campuses across the United States. Retaining these Hispanic students through the technical leadership pipeline requires continuous support and investment from organizations that not only believe in their potential, but also depend on their talent to innovate advanced solutions. The generous support of like-minded partners enables the HITEC Foundation to deliver programs related to its three pillars. Pillar 1 – Scholarships Pillar 2 – Mentorship Pillar 3 –Technical and Educational Resources and Career Development Support Pulling up Hispanics is our goal. Making a change in technology is our future.
