OUTREACH COORDINATOR (LOS ANGELES)

Who We Are

Black Boys Code is a national 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering Black youth to explore the limitless possibilities in STEM. By providing mentorship, industry exposure, and technical training, we aim to develop the next generation of innovators and creators in the digital age.

At Black Boys Code, we understand that true empowerment goes beyond technical education—it’s about representation, belonging, and opportunity. Every program we deliver is led by Black STEM professionals and students, offering mentorship and role models who reflect the identities and experiences of our participants. For many, this is the first time they’ve encountered educators who look like them, transforming how they see themselves and their potential.
We believe education is the key to unlocking the potential of Black youth, enabling them to become future leaders and powerful voices of change. Our curriculum equips students with cutting-edge skills in fields like artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning, preparing them not just to succeed but to shape the innovation economy. By fostering environments where Black youth feel seen, heard, and empowered, we aim to create a ripple effect of change that transforms lives, communities, and industries.
