In celebration of Black History Month, Common Impact is spotlighting remarkable Black nonprofit leaders and their many contributions to creating more positive, healthy, and equitable communities.
Today we hear from Jerelyn Rodriguez, Founder & CEO of The Knowledge House, a South Bronx-based nonprofit committed to building a diverse pipeline of tech talent from low-income communities as a critical step in achieving its broader vision of alleviating poverty. The Knowledge House provides high school students and young adults with training, fellowships, and internships to prepare them for successful careers in technology. Like Jerelyn, all staff are people of color who hail from the same communities as these fellows.
