We’re looking for a cohort of Black & Latinx technologists who are excited about shaping the future of tech with innovation and racial equity advocacy.

The 2024 Fellows Program application is now open. Apply now.

ABOUT THE FELLOWS PROGRAM

The Fellows Program is an intensive career accelerator for Black and Latinx college and graduate-level computer science students. For 9 weeks between June and August, you’ll intern at a top tech company and engage in racial equity advocacy work. You’ll participate in a series of learning experiences designed to give you the tools and resources you need to navigate the tech industry, build a lasting career, and advocate for yourself and your community.



For the first time, we are offering this program nationwide! This means folks will be able to take advantage of all Code2040 programming virtually and participate from any part of the country. Please note that partner companies may choose to have in-person internships depending on next year's circumstances.


WHAT TO EXPECT

Racial Equity Advocacy Work
Learn about the current state of the tech industry, what systems need to change, and what your role is as a racial equity advocate.

Internship at a Leading Tech Company
Gain real-world work experience and access to innovators and industry leaders at a trusted Code2040 Company Partner.

Student Learning Experiences
Participate in workshops, panel discussions, and more to gain the tools and resources you need to navigate the tech industry and thrive in your career.

Intimate Cohort
Get to know each of your peers in a virtual setting with more opportunities for connection, healing, and candid conversation.

Build Community
Meet other Black and Latinx technologists and receive support from mentors and managers, all while redefining the future and face of tech and ensuring other technologists like you have the opportunity to succeed.

Locations
The 2023 program structure is still being finalized and we hope to have that information to students by early Fall so students have enough time to block off the program in their calendars. We are hoping to have a hybrid in-person/remote program, with an all-expenses-paid in person Welcome Week, followed by remote programming. Subject to change given CDC guidelines and public health notices. The health & safety of our community comes first!
