America On Tech Expands to Atlanta, Launching New Opportunities for Local Youth in Tech

We’re thrilled to announce America On Tech’s (AOT) expansion into Atlanta, a city known for its thriving tech ecosystem and passionate commitment to diversity and inclusion. Starting in summer 2025, AOT will roll out signature high school programs to empower Atlanta’s underestimated high school students with the technical skills and professional networks they need to excel in today’s digital economy.

AOT’s programs have made an impact in cities across the country, helping students from diverse backgrounds enter high-growth tech fields. With Atlanta’s tech sector employing over 220,000 professionals—the city offers a promising landscape for AOT to make a lasting difference. However, only 66% of Atlanta’s public high schools currently offer computing courses, signaling a need for initiatives that help bridge this gap. 
​
In summer 2025, AOT will launch its TECH360 program, a three-week tech-intensive program for rising juniors and seniors in high school. Then, in the fall, kick off the 12-month Tech Flex Leaders program, offering in-depth training in web development, AI, data science, UX design, cyber security, product management and more. Each program connects students with mentors, provides professional development, and opens doors to paid internships and jobs. By the end of our first three years in Atlanta, we expect to serve 250 students and transform career opportunities for diverse youth.

How You Can Get Involved:

Join Our Atlanta Regional Advisory Board
AOT is establishing an Atlanta Regional Advisory Board to guide our expansion. We’re seeking recommendations for senior leaders in Atlanta’s tech and business communities who are passionate about youth workforce development, tech education, and driving meaningful impact. Advisory board members will play an essential role in shaping AOT’s local programs, fundraising efforts, and partnerships.​

If you or someone you know would be a great fit, we invite you to apply or make a referral for our board! Applications open through December 13, 2024.
