Snacks, printing, and supplies for one hour with the whole group.

A kid, start to finish

Volunteer & Mentor

Help run a session.

If you work in tech, you already know enough. Eight sessions, a small room of curious kids trying to catch an AI being wrong, and a session plan we hand you. No teaching experience required. The teen programs will take mentors later.

Tech Mentor

Work with one student at a time. Answer questions, look at their work, help them get unstuck.

Guest Speaker

Tell the kids what you do and how you got there. Most of them have never met someone who works in tech.

Curriculum Reviewer

Read our lesson plans and tell us what's wrong, outdated, or too hard for the age group.

Event Volunteer

Help set up, check kids in, and run the room on class days and at the certificate ceremony.

Other ways

More ways to help

Used laptops, employer matching, and planned gifts all count.

Used laptops and equipment

Have laptops, tablets, or software licenses you no longer use? We will put them in front of kids who need them. Email us to set up a drop-off or pick-up in Philadelphia.

Planned giving

You can name NextGen Tech Youth Foundation in your will or estate plan. Any amount helps keep classes free for Philadelphia kids down the road.

Matching gifts

Many employers match donations dollar for dollar, and some go 2-to-1. Ask your HR department if yours does. It doubles your gift at no cost to you.
