i.c.stars

Since 1998, i.c.stars has been running an intensive 16-week technology and leadership bootcamp to break the cycle of oppression for inner-city adults. Our project based learning approach - rooted in systems thinking and problem solving - is core to how we develop Technology and Community Leaders. Our programs transform lives and strengthen communities. Our graduates’ earnings increase average is 300%, with an 83% placement rate and 90% industry retention rate after one year. Furthermore, many of our graduates go on to become homeowners and advocates for change. One of our 1,000+ alumni summed up the impact in this quote: “i.c.stars allows space for CREATORS to architect their career, their lifestyle, and even more deeply consider generational wealth…”
