Oakland, CA

Executive Director, Hack the Hood

The Organization

About Hack the Hood

Founded in 2013, Hack the Hood is a non-profit organization based in Oakland, California with a mission to empower youth and communities of color with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to succeed in tech careers. Through mentorship, culturally relevant knowledge, and 21st century tech and data science skills, Hack the Hood believes the youth they serve will become architects of change in their communities by leveraging technology for good. By using technology as a tool for gainful mobility, they create generational and economic impact.

The organization serves Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and AAPI young people, ages 16-25, who are interested in tech careers, but who have historically excluded. Hack the Hood understands that learning to thrive in a tech career pathway and gaining access to training to develop the skills necessary to succeed in this competitive and rewarding industry can be particularly challenging for Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and AAPI communities.

To support their students’ long-term success, all educational programs are offered free of charge, and the organization partners with small businesses, corporations, community colleges, and four-year institutions to enable a broad set of career pathways and possibilities. Hack the Hood prepares learners for a wide range of future possibilities where they can determine their path and are equipped to thrive as intersectional technical leaders in any sector.

Hack the Hood’s Values

» Racial justice drives our every decision. We are unapologetic about who we serve.

» Our work has generational impact. We believe technology can be leveraged as a tool for economic mobility for communities of color for today and tomorrow, changing paths for our families and our local businesses.

» There ain’t no tech without us! The advancement of technology is indebted to the cultural capital and ingenuity of communities of color. Honoring these ongoing contributions with true equity and ownership is long overdue.

» Tech justice is necessary. We approach every learning experience with a justice-centered mindset, offering sharp critical thinking skills through socio-political content.

» Data is power. We believe that, when equipped with data literacy skills, learners will be positioned for long-term career opportunities as computational thinkers.

Background + History

In the early 2010s, we began to see a rapid acceleration in class division epitomized by privatized tech employee shuttle buses, a clear symbol of gentrification. This brought into focus that there was a critical need to provide more opportunities for BIPOC youth who felt shut out of the booming tech industry.

Within this context, the concept of providing training for youth by hiring them to build small business websites was born. Hack the Hood launched as a pilot project in the fall of 2012 with a $5,000 grant from Google Ventures and engaged two dozen adult volunteers to work with 75 merchants in Oakland to help them get listed on Google Maps and Places.

In 2013, Hack the Hood received a three-year grant from the Oakland Fund for Children and Youth (OFCY) to deliver an annual youth tech bootcamp in the City of Oakland. The first year, the organization served 18 youth who built a total of 65 small business websites.

Then, in 2014, Hack the Hood applied for and was one of four local non-profit organizations to receive the first-ever Google Bay Area Impact Challenge, which included a two-year $500,000 investment from Google, in addition to skill-based volunteering support and training from more than 100 Googlers.

Even more valuable than the training and financial investment, the Google Impact Challenge brought an extreme level of visibility and a stamp of approval from the most influential technology company on the planet. In the next six months, the organization was able to raise an additional $600,000 to grow from an organization with a budget of $75,000 to a budget of $750,000. This infusion of financial support allowed the organization to hire its first full-time staff, and the increased visibility attracted more than 200 volunteers to support Hack the Hood’s work.

Hack the Hood’s Strategic Plan

As Hack the Hood looks to the future to scale its impact, the 2021 – 2023 strategic plan calls for the organization to:

» Strengthen its technical curriculum and educational program model to teach core programming languages and data science skills more effectively

» Design a unique tech for justice curriculum that deepens its racial justice lens, which is integrated across all its programming, and share it widely via partners to reach and recruit more learners

» Develop a year-long cohort model to support career navigation for alumni while continuing to build professional skills, social capital, technical expertise, and peer learning communities

» Strengthen support for post-program career advancement by creating preferred partnerships with education partners and employers

» Become a national resource for tech skill-building and learning by sharing its tech for justice curriculum widely to motivate and empower youth and communities of color across the U.S.

Position Summary

Like the students enrolled in its programs, Hack the Hood is brimming with potential. The organization’s founders created a vision for a more inclusive and just tech sector and laid the groundwork to connect students with career and educational opportunities in the Bay Area’s innovation economy.

Director, Technology Acceleration, Bezos Earth Fund

The Organization
The Bezos Earth Fund was created by a commitment of $10 billion from Jeff Bezos to be disbursed as grants within the current decade. We are committed to fighting climate change and protecting nature

Position Overview

Created by Jeff Bezos with a $10 billion commitment, the largest philanthropic commitment ever made to fight climate change and protect nature, the Earth Fund is now building its senior team to ensure maximum transformative impact.

We believe that this is a truly decisive decade. Climate change poses an existential threat to humanity, and the destruction of nature is undermining the ecosystems upon which we depend. But along with risks come great opportunities. Smart, bold action on climate change and nature will not only prevent bad things from happening; it can also introduce new opportunities, making our economy more efficient, driving technological change, and reducing risks. Combined, these can lead to more jobs, healthier citizens, less injustice, and better lives. The Bezos Earth Fund was established to help drive these needed changes.

The Director, Technology Acceleration will lead the Fund’s work to identify high-leverage opportunities to accelerate commercialization of technologies the world needs to combat climate change and protect the natural world. They will partner with research and development organizations, corporations, governments, multilaterals, and other relevant players to catalyze swift momentum for promising technologies to be conceptualized, designed and tested; and when successful technologies emerge, create accelerated pathways to take them from RD&D through to commercialization. The Director will work with the President & CEO, the Vice President, Strategy and Programs, and a growing team to identify and design scalable programs, convene key partners, identify excellent organizations and projects, direct funding to high-impact initiatives, track results, and share knowledge. They will engage with experts and decision-makers and be open to new ideas and partners.  The Director will approach this work with a spirit of curiosity, collaboration, humility, and learning, while also focusing on results and being ambitious on behalf of the Fund’s climate mission.

Examples of the kinds of technology areas that may be explored include (among others): Direct air capture technologies, electrofuels, long duration energy storage, methane capture technologies, microbial proteins as an alternative to meat, and technologies for measuring and mapping soil composition.

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of technology and how it applies to climate solutions and experience working in an international context. Professional presence and the ability to interact effectively with leaders in government, business, philanthropy, and civil society are also of great importance. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 15 years of relevant professional experience that demonstrates intellectual, strategic, and managerial leadership. They should have a graduate degree in a relevant field.

How To Apply

To apply, please submit a CV and covering letter, detailing how you fulfil the role description and personal specification to https://candidates.perrettlaver.com/vacancies/ quoting reference 5269. Applications will be assessed on a rolling basis.

Preferred location: Washington DC, but flexible for extraordinary candidates. Please highlight if you have the right to work in the US in your application.

Arabella’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion within our firm and in our work with partners is critical to our mission. To be effective partners to philanthropists, nonprofits, and communities impacted by philanthropic dollars, we need to have a highly diverse staff, a workplace where individuals are encouraged to retain their uniqueness and can feel a sense of belonging, and a nuanced understanding of the racial, ethnic, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, and other disparities that undergird the issues we engage in and the interactions we have with one another. For us, equity means that our staff members, our clients, and the people they serve can experience the same level of success, no matter their starting place.

Arabella’s commitment to equity is long term, and the reasons that motivate us to engage in this work vary. For some of us, this work is personal: we have experienced marginalization and exclusion and feel a responsibility to repair the systems that have failed our communities. For some of us, this work is still new, and we are still learning about the systems that shape our society and sector and create inequitable outcomes. But regardless of our lived experiences and backgrounds, all of us recognize our privilege as close partners to funders and want to use this privilege in a way that advances equitable outcomes for communities.
