About the Company
The mission of Geeking Out Kids of Color (GOKiC) is the liberation of youth of color by creating decolonized tech education and providing mentorship to nurture leaders of change. Across all the programs, GOKiC engages BIPOC youth with the goal of creating actual career and life choices for them based on their passion, interests, and direction they choose to pursue. GOKiC teaches technology education through a critical race and gender theory framework as a way for BIPOC youth to build new technology pathways to empower their community, dismantle oppressive systems that create barriers, and promote allyship to empower youth from marginalized groups to pursue life choices. GOKiC builds and sustains youth programs that are rooted in community, computer science, and consciousness.
