The school-to-career pipeline.

It’s Proven. Our Program Works.

100%

of our students have gone to college or earned careers making $80,000 within one year of graduating high school.

Our Holistic Approach

  • Nutrition

    Students cannot learn when hungry. We provide each student with a nutritious meal every day.

  • Computers

    Every child is equipped with a powerful laptop, headphones, and, if needed, an internet grant.

  • Whole Child

    Take care of the mind, and the body will follow. We provide access to free therapy and mental health resources.

  • Culturally Relevant

    Our curriculum is custom-made for the communities we serve. Students will also learn about finances, black history, becoming a leader, and more.

Looking for an intern?

The average household income for the neighborhoods we serve is $20,000. A tech internship from your company could double to triple a family's income.

Get Paid.

Our students complete paid internships at local startups and prestigious organizations such as MIT, Microsoft, and the US Embassy. Interns earn an average of $17/hour while still in high school.

“What started as an impromptu pilot program from a conference conversation turned into an extremely meaningful experience for my MIT Digital Learning Lab colleagues and myself to work with these talented Empowr students in the summer. The Empowr student interns gained skills, confidence, and had concrete work outputs in courses that thousands of learners use each year.”

Tour the country.

Exposure is everything. Students go on cross-country trips to tour the tech offices and meet with industry professionals.
