What America On Tech does

America On Tech (AOT) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 that operates a portfolio of tuition-free workforce development programs targeting high school and college students from underrepresented and underserved communities in the United States. Its core programs are Tech Flex Leaders (year-long high school program in web development, AI, UX design, cybersecurity, digital marketing, and product management across NYC, LA, and Miami), TECH360 (a three-week intensive AI literacy summer program, including a new Atlanta cohort), Tech Skills Fellowship (year-long Data Science and Cybersecurity tracks with CompTIA Security+ and DataCamp certifications for college-aged participants), and the Access Tech Internship Program (a 6-week paid summer internship and year-round job placement service with 80+ employer partners). Since founding, AOT has served 5,300+ students, facilitated 1,000+ paid internships generating more than $4.1M in student wages, and reports 85% of alumni pursuing tech-related degrees or careers.

AOT's technology is primarily pedagogical: curriculum covers generative AI, machine learning applications, evaluation of AI outputs, ethics, and hands-on projects such as AI-powered chatbots, supported by 3,000+ professional volunteers, 106 corporate volunteers in the 2025-2026 Fellowship, and 80+ employer partners providing internships and full-time hiring pathways. Programs are delivered in-person across NYC, LA, Miami, and Atlanta, with Atlanta launched in September 2025 as the organization's fourth market.

AOT's revenue model is donor-funded, not commercial: it operates as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) and accepts corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, public organization funding (e.g., NYC Civic Engagement Commission), and tax-deductible individual donations. Named flagship funders include Google.org ($2.5M in September 2025), Citi Foundation (Community Progress Makers), NBCUniversal/Comcast, JPMorgan Chase, Salesforce, Blackstone, FactSet, AWS, Microsoft, and New Profit. Students pay nothing; in exchange, AOT removes financial barriers via tuition-free training, stipends, mentorship, and direct employer access.
