Github has been one Maven's superstar sponsor!!

Maven is seeking additional supporters to ensure our camp can launch this summer in these amazing cities. As a nonprofit Maven partner with local LGBTQA youth serving organizations and LGBTQA tech professionals to provide a free 1-2 week tech camp for LGBTQA youth between the ages of 14-19.

LGBT Youth Tech Camps:

Transform the tech sector through consciousness raising and collaborative partnerships Connect LGBTQA nonprofits with tech industry resources and volunteers Increase the visibility of the LGBTQ community in technology Increase the Career Pipeline of LGBTQ in technology

Hosting Sponsor For our camps to be successful we seek tech/gaming companies who can host our youth for a day or two. Ideal hosting tech companies will: • Have the ability to provide breakfast, lunch and snacks for 20 youth and camp staff • Have a meeting space to accommodate learning as well as youth energy • Have computers/laptops to lend youth for training (we can work around with hosting site) • Must have a company commitment to diversity and inclusion in their workplace

Tech Professional Volunteers Maven’s success is connected to the amazing volunteers who give their time to the program. Companies are encouraged to send LGBTQ employees for a day during our camp to support our youth. We also seek out tech professionals who can be part of Out In Tech speaking panel. Employees from diverse tech careers from programming, HR work, project management, marketing and other tech careers are encouraged to attend
