About the Event
Technology can empower people to dream big and accomplish great things. Across the country, many communities lack support and access to the tools and training that can unlock a better future and prepare youth for the challenges ahead.
Minnesota Africans United, with sponsorship from Best Buy Foundation and the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, provides a digital technology program offering training and professional mentoring to African youths aged 13 to 21 as a means of preparing them to succeed in their careers, education, business, and communities.
Join Minnesota Africans United and Triumph Graphics in a six-session training series where teens can develop critical digital marketing and technology skills.
