Opportunity Fund

Expanding Opportunity for Diverse Tech Talent

As General Assembly (GA) grew so did our awareness that the growing tech industry could either become a path to good jobs for more people or a tool to replicate the disparities that already exist within society. The Opportunity Fund was born, out of a commitment to capitalize on this very opportunity to create access. Opportunity Fund was the first in a suite of social impact programs that I would co-lead at General Assembly to leverage our resources to support diversity and access within the tech and design industries. As a small team, we co-created a new narrative about what being a leader in diversity and inclusion meant in our industry and built internal and external systems and processes that were easy to use and incentivized serving students with greater barriers to employment.
