The Hidden Genius Project trains and mentors Black male youth in technology creation, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills to transform their lives and communities.

Since 2012, more than 12,000 students have revealed their Genius through our Intensive Immersion, Catalyst, and Community Partner Programs, and so many more are waiting to shine.

Your contribution today sustains our work in developing authentic interactions and opportunities for more Geniuses.

We deeply believe that small, ongoing contributions to our programs helps us provide the holistic care and support our young people need in order to thrive in their communities. Become a recurring donor today.
