NOLAvate Black

Help us raise $2,500 to shift the culture of tech!

NOLAvate Black is a nonprofit workforce intermediary dedicated to advancing economic mobility by connecting underrepresented and undernetworked talent to pathways in high-growth careers in technology and innovation.

We bridge the gap between potential and opportunity by aligning community, industry, and education—ensuring no one is left behind. Building the network that works, we equip individuals with the tools, networks, and support needed to succeed in the evolving world of work. By empowering underserved communities to harness AI and develop skills that foster innovation, we expand access, strengthen pathways, and position our communities to thrive in a rapidly changing economy.

NOLAvate Black exists to close access gaps in tech by creating spaces where Black and Brown talent don’t just learn about technology—but experience it, build with it, and see themselves in it.

Your support powers programs that make a real difference, including:

• AI Summits and Hackathons that provide hands‑on learning with emerging technologies
• Paid Summer Internships mentored by industry leaders
• Meetups and Community Experiences that connect talent directly to professionals and companies
• National and Local Partnerships that expand networks, exposure, and opportunity

For more than eight years, NOLAvate Black has helped build a stronger, more inclusive tech ecosystem—one that reflects the creativity, culture, and talent of our community.
