ABOUT HACK.DIVERSITY
Hack what? You heard us — we hack diversity. We break barriers for Black and Latinx students by creating a sustainable pathway to careers in the innovation economy.
We tackle the underrepresentation of high-skilled minority employees in Boston’s innovation economy. We recruit Black and Latinx students pursuing careers in software engineering, data analytics, information technology, and UX/UI design into the city’s fastest-growing companies — training, coaching and mentoring both employer and employee throughout the experience.
What’s our vision? We want a 100% increase in the number of Black and Latinx technical talent in the innovation economy in Boston.
