Venture-Philanthropy Group Aids Tech-Training Charity
November 9, 2009
The Washington-area branch of the national technology-training organization Year Up will get $4.5-million from a group of local philanthropic investors to expand its programs to prepare low-income students for tech careers, The Washington Post reports.
Year Up hopes to double the size of its Northern Virginia operation by 2013. The group helps 18- to 24-year-olds get college-level information-technology training and internships at area corporations.
