Hack the Hood introduces low-income youth of color to careers in technology through hands-on training programs. The programs teach youth web development and basic coding skills, which they apply by building websites for local organizations. This empowers the young people to see themselves in tech careers that they previously may not have considered possible. In the summer of 2015, Hack the Hood ran four boot camps in East Palo Alto, Richmond, and Oakland serving 100 youth ages 16-21.
