Dev/Mission is excited to announce an upcoming video series that takes a peek into the non-profit organization! Dev/Mission will be interviewing alumni, staff, board members, partners, and funders about their thoughts and experiences at Dev/Mission. Our mission with these videos is to provide future alumni and our partners/funders a detailed and informative look at how our program operates and guides youth on a path to success in the tech field.
Through these videos, you will get to know the hard obstacles our alumni faced such as growing up in low income communities with little to no opportunities. They will share their origin stories, talk about their hopes and aspirations, and the obstacles they were facing. By the end of the video, you will get to know their achievements and successes that they were able to accomplish through Dev/Mission. From creating websites using their acquired knowledge taught at our Bootcamp to finding their passions and interests from corporate site visits and mentorships provided by software engineers that have inspired them through their journey. Alongside these videos, we will be introducing our talented staff and their important role in our organization and how they have supported and mentored our alumni. Lastly, we will interview our wonderful partners and founders that have made all these possible through funding and partnership.
Our main goal with these videos is to highlight how successful and innovative our non-profit is for low income youth in diverse disenfranchised communities in the Bay Area. Dev/Mission stands out in the non-profit organization for transforming the lives of inner city youth through our internships and mentorship. We are very proud of all our alumni who have graduated and have gone and found jobs in the tech field despite the inherent obstacles and challenges they have faced in life for being minorities growing up in low-income communities with little to no opportunities or ways to move up the social ladder.
With these videos, we hope to encourage future alumni to join our organization and see how life-transforming our program can be in their lives. We welcome them and remind them that they belong here and they deserve the same opportunities just like everyone else. We hope these videos show our partners and funders how their contributions have revolutionized Dev/Mission and their roles in transforming our alumni lives that have led them to find passion and success in the tech field.
