About Tech2Empower
Tech2Empower supports change-makers by getting technology expertise to women leaders in the nonprofit sector, social entrepreneurs, and at schools focused on girls' education and leadership. We do this by connecting them with teams of volunteer Advisors from top companies such as Accenture, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Salesforce as well as smaller companies. Advisors collaborate with local partners through impact project work, coaching, and tech training.
In October 2024, Tech2Empower will host this impactful program in the vibrant city of Medellín, Colombia.

- Work in teams to coach and co-create (systems, strategies, plans, digital collateral) with local women-led organization leaders.
