Our founder, Valerie Phoenix, started Tech by Choice in 2018 to help marginalized communities have access to personal development and skill building workshops.
Since 2018 we have host 28 events, supported 1,027 members, and grown to 3 chapters (Los Angels, Oakland, and DMV).
We know representation matters and we're helping people in our community enter, stay, and thrive in tech.
Our initiative allows our community members to get stipend backed, hands-on experience by helping to code, design, write, and project manages our community driven projects. This provides every member of any skill level with the opportunity to cultivate marketable skills to land their next job.
On average underestimated individuals experience a 44.7% increase in salary.
The Tech by Choice community is truly comfort food for my soul.
