About Us
Who we are
We're a professional community for latinxs in tech. A space where we can network and advance in our careers, bring access to tech for low income communities and increase the opportunities for us in tech.
We come from all walks of life, and believe that the diversity in the community is our strongest asset. We promote collaboration between our members, and aim to create a culture where we are constantly looking for ways to uplift each other.
What we do
We maintain online communities to hold conversations around different topics that are valuable for the community; career advice, work opportunities, events, resources and even where to get great food!
We meet for events in our different chapters, usually with speakers or a panel to both learn something new and have the opportunity to network and create stronger bonds.
We create partnerships with other organizations and communities; both those that provide value to our members or in those that we can volunteer and help them get closer to their goals.
