We are excited to announce the launch of our next Kenya Coding Bootcamp, scheduled to begin this June.

This fall, GLAD Technology partnered with CITE.org and IRC to teach I.T. skills to Afghan refugees.

If you had asked us 12 months ago where GLAD would be, we could not have imagined all that we would accomplish or the lives we would get to impact.

GLAD Technology was featured in the Fall 2023 issue of the Westmont College Magazine!

Check out this short video clip that captures some of the magic of a day in the life of our Kenyan students.

Kenya's sights offer a refreshing escape from bustling Sacramento. Here, Ben is leading GLAD Kenya's 10-week web development bootcamp for 16 young adults. It's hard to capture the beauty of this place and what that means for a learning environment.

In the span of just a few weeks, we have had over two hundred applicants for our Kenyan coding bootcamp.

GLAD Technology will be hosting a 10-week coding bootcamp in rural Kenya this summer! We will be reaching Kenyan young adults who are caught in the vicious cycle of poverty, giving them education and skills to change the course of their career.

GLAD is offering two new upcoming courses in the coming months. Registration is now open and volunteers are needed!

This summer, GLAD partnered with the GreenHouse Center in South Natomas to create a web development internship program for high school students. With a real world project tied to their learning, students rose to the challenge to design and implement a beautiful and professional web site.

This last week GLAD finished its first 10-week “Introduction to Web Development” course. Students learned the foundations for coding and web design: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. And by the course end, each of them had designed and published their own personal portfolio site to showcase their new skills. A job well done!

There’s no better way to learn how to run a non-profit coding bootcamp than participating with one already in action. In March, Ben flew out to Atlanta, Georgia, to volunteer with Refcode - helping with student intake, curriculum development, tutoring, and volunteer support.
