Mission Statement
Pursuit is a social impact non-profit based in Queens, NY that helps adults from non-traditional backgrounds and low-income communities gain the skills and jobs to become future leaders in technology. Our mission is to create economic mobility for those who need it the most, and we do this by training high-potential individuals to become software developers and helping them secure jobs at leading companies such as Uber, Twitter, Pinterest, Spotify, Citi, BlackRock, and Goldman Sachs.
About This Cause
Pursuit creates pathways out of poverty through technology. We believe that people from every community and background—across ethnicity, gender, and socio-economic background—should have the opportunity to gain jobs in tech. We provide adults with non-traditional backgrounds the technical and professional skills to code, help them gain jobs in tech, and grow in their careers. Our fellows are representative of the diversity of our communities: 50% women, 70% Black or LatinX, 40% immigrant, 50% without a college education, and more than 50% on some sort of public assistance benefits. Our graduates go from making on average $18,000 pre-program to $90,000 post-program - a wage gain that propels whole communities from poverty into the middle-class. With tens of millions of working poor and increasing blue-collar job loss due to automation and technology, we want to transform adult education to help more people achieve economic self-sufficiency and create a diverse tech community representative of America.
