Program areas at Code2040
Program development - the fellows program is an intensive career accelerator for black and latinx college and graduate-level computer science students. For nine weeks between june and august, they intern at a top technology company and engage in racial equity advocacy work. They participate in a series of learning experiences designed to give them the tools and resources they need to navigate the tech industry, build a lasting career, and advocate for themselves and their community. Program participants receive socio-emotional, professional, and management development through in-person workshops, mentorship and coaching, and online engagement. In this program, the organization builds community, makes space to commiserate, and most importantly, finds tactical solutions to the professional and cultural roadblocks black and latinx technologists face in the workplace. The organization's goal is to ensure that its communities are able to not only survive but thrive in the workplace.
Community mobilization department - the organization's community is full of people actively working on racial equity. While the organization interacts and engages with the community, they are stewarded by their wisdom, driven by their personal experience, active in their regional and organizational spheres, and supported by their network. The organization relentlessly decentralizes code2040 as the convener of this movement. Instead, the organization consistently serves with inspiration, empowerment, and resources.
Company cultural transformation - company culture transformation offers company facing services grounded in sound change management processes aimed at producing racially equitable and inclusive company cultures within the tech and innovation industries. This includes work such as: racial equity and inclusion transformation trainings, company coaching, and racial equity and inclusion advising and consulting.
