America on Tech
Empowering underserved youth with technology skills through immersive training and mentorship programs.
America On Tech (AOT) is a non-profit organization dedicated to preparing the next generation of technology leaders from underserved communities. Operating in major urban centers like New York City, Los Angeles, and Miami, AOT focuses on bridging the economic and racial wealth gap by providing free, high-quality technology education to high school juniors and seniors.
The core offering is the Tech Flex Leaders (TFL) Program, an immersive, nine-month out-of-school program that combines weekly technical training sessions, professional development, and mentorship from industry experts. These sessions are designed to equip students with the skills and confidence needed to pursue degrees and careers in technology.
AOT's business model relies on partnerships with leading technology companies and philanthropic contributions to fund its programs. The organization generates revenue through grants, donations, and corporate sponsorships, ensuring that all programs remain free for participants.
By focusing on technical training, career readiness, and mentorship, AOT aims to create pathways to technology careers for students who might otherwise lack access to such opportunities.
