HOW IT STATTED
The mentorship program was initiated by three individuals with sound minds in the tech industry, all of whom are employed by United Health Care. They observed a concerning trend wherein a considerable number of students, particularly people of color, graduated from high school but only a minority of them pursued higher education, especially in the fields of tech and healthcare. In response to this issue, they conceived the idea of mentoring the youth to encourage their pursuit of education in the tech and healthcare sectors.
We volunteer as mentors to support and guide youth of color in their career development. Our efforts include providing valuable resources and connecting them with recruiters. Many of the youth we assist have enrolled in bootcamps. To sustain our mission of helping others, we have transformed our initiative into a non-profit organization.
