Minds of Technology Institute Organizational Overview 501(c)

Minds of Technology Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to uplift the community through charitable and educational events, activities and services based in technology training, mentoring, career prep and development and entrepreneurship preparation. We have an immediate and direct goal to train as many new young minds on the transferable tech skills they need to advance themselves to the next level in career and life. Founded by John Anderson II, Minds of Technology Institute provides classes and trainings in Atlanta, Georgia and Maricopa, Arizona– two base regions for our organization where the founder has decades of experience. Classes and resources are open to the community, with a focus on opening up more access to technology and technology-training to LMI communities and those areas that have been historically underserved and historically or inadequately resourced. As the world becomes increasingly more digitized and the global economy becomes more widely distributed, we know that whole pockets of our community need an extra hand at “bridging the digital divide” for themselves and their families. Our work is very important and we like to provide a full pipeline of opportunities from schools, career paths and even local jobs or entrepreneurship opportunities that allow our students to use their new tech skillsets in an immediate way– once they achieve and receive their Certificates of Completion for their specific skills area. Our Program Pillars include:  Computer Technology Training  Personal and Group Mentoring  Workforce Development/Career Placement  Civic Education We welcome partnerships, collaborations and long term working relationships with companies and organizations that align with our purpose and mission; and we welcome donations, funding opportunities and in-kind support to make this mission come to life on a daily and annual basis. —John Anderson II, Founder/Executive Director
