Proud to be a part of the @Microsoft Change Agents Program as a Nonprofit Champion for Computing For All! Excited to help empower them with @microsoft-for-nonprofits technology, digital skills, employee giving, and community. #MicrosoftLife #MicrosoftChangeAgents #Nonprofits #DigitalSkills #TechForGood
We are incredibly thankful to the Microsoft Customer Experience and Success division for choosing Computing For All as a beneficiary of this October’s GIVE campaign. Microsoft’s support is instrumental in our mission to empower low-income and BIPOC students, helping them pave a path towards a tech career. Over the past three years, our partnership with Microsoft has been invaluable. Through our collaboration, we have equipped our CFA Web Development Pre-Apprenticeship students and others with the skills needed to apply for the Microsoft Discovery High School Internship program. This includes mock interviews, resume, and essay review support. We are especially grateful for the fantastic week-long professional skills camp Microsoft has provided over the last two summers, enriching our students with career awareness and hands-on tech skills. A heartfelt thank you to Microsoft for your unwavering support and partnership. Special thanks to Mala Anand Pius Gonzalvo Jolenta Coleman-Bush Daniel Barkley for their dedication to our students Everyone can join GIVE and make an impact in the lives of these talented young people; Microsoft employees are encouraged to get involved through their Benevity portal. #GIVE #MicrosoftGiving #fundraising #diversityintech

Looking forward to seeing some of you at the Year Up Luncheon!
It's that time of year again! Together with special guest, Ellen McClain, CEO and President of Year Up United, we’re excited to host the 12th Annual Professional Olympics Luncheon on October 22nd from 11:15 AM to 1 PM at the Westin Seattle. The event brings together students, alumni, corporate partners, and mission champions to celebrate our shared commitment to closing the Opportunity Divide — the gap between business hiring needs and untapped talent. As Ellen McClain recently shared: "In a world undergoing significant transformation, our mission to end the Opportunity Divide has never been more important. I’m keenly aware of how barriers to economic empowerment and mobility can get in the way of fulfilling one’s potential, which is why this work is personal to me. It’s also profoundly life-changing, and achieving it requires a movement of people." Join us and be part of this movement! Register here for the Professional Olympics: https://lnkd.in/gk6BqXHZ
