i.c.stars

i.c.stars was established to create economic opportunity
for underserved communities by bridging disconnected young adults with
the high growth tech sector. Participants learn by doing; they build web
based applications to solve client challenges - with coding, business,
and leadership instruction provided along the way. They also gain the
professional network needed to jumpstart their careers.

i.c.stars graduates become technologists who earn living wages (300%
more than before) working as application developers or business
analysts. They create nonprofits and advocate for change, putting into
action i.c.stars’ definition of leadership: making opportunities for
others. i.c.stars also works to change employer perceptions and
practices around nontraditional talent by engaging each year hundreds of
employers through industry conferences and convenings
