Mission Statement
Maven Youth is empowering LGBTQ+ youth to network, organize and educate for social change with technology and within the tech sector.
About This Cause
We accomplish our mission by: * Providing meaningful tech skills exploration and development to pave career pathways for LGBTQ+ youth * Bridging the technology gap between LGBTQ+ youth and youth serving organizations * Transforming the tech industry through consciousnesses raising and collaborative partnerships LGBT+ youth are equipped with the knowledge, skill, and ability to create innovative tech solutions. Youth are provided career pathways into technology and supported to advance within the tech industry through training, mentorship, and application. We envision a just society where: LGBT+ youth serving organizations are providing services to youth using the most innovative technology. It’s a world where non-profits are provided the funding and support needed to access and sustain the newest technology to better serve youth. The LGBT+ community thrives in technology. It’s a world where the tech industry invests in the next generation of LGBTQ+ professionals and changes how our community is represented in games and media. LGBTQ+ tech professionals, especially leaders of color, rise within the industry. LGBT+ youth are free to explore their identity free from bullying and hateful speech. It’s a world where youth can walk into a center online before they’re comfortable with stepping through the door (or find a door online that isn’t in their community). We envision a world where the most rural of youth can access an array of resources available in the urban areas. It’s a world where youth are sharing resources and best practices – connecting a thriving GSA club in San Antonio, TX with a budding group in rural Kerman, CA.
