Volunteer Build Campaign

As TECH CORPS expands its program offerings and implementation areas over the next few years, our need for volunteers is multiplying. Through the TECH CORPS Volunteer Build campaign, we are working to raise $50,000 to recruit, train and deploy volunteers in six states — California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Ohio and Rhode Island.

Free Professional Development

With support from Google, TECH CORPS and the Teaching & Learning Collaborative, we will offer teachers and intervention specialists in California and Georgia the opportunity to attend a two-day professional development session. Educators will learn to help students gain a deeper understanding of essential mathematics concepts while engaging in computer science.

Student WEB CORPS at Lorain High

“We know students love to join amazing summer programs,” explained Tina Kimbrough M.Ed,Co-Interim Director of Programs, The Nord Family Foundation. “The problem is that many students need to work during the summer to support themselves and their families.”

Student WEB CORPS allows high school students to learn web development and workforce skills while they get paid. “The Nord Family Foundation is sponsoring the program because it’s the best of both worlds,” Kimbrough explained. “It’s a way for students not only to learn about web design but also to get paid to do so.”
