As a small nonprofit, we are rely on donors big and small to support our mission. A gift, of any size can be the difference in a life of poverty, or not. The unemployed young adults that secure employment after our Bootcamps are earning 4x their surveyed peer group. As for the young kids, who knows - the next Steve Jobs might just happen to be from Zimbabwe!

Your generosity makes a huge difference.

We match all of our students with one on one, virtual mentorship during their Bootcamp experience. While our mentors commit to a minimum of 1hr per month for six months, we encourage the Mentors & Mentees to find a cadence that works best for them.

Mentorship isn’t just about technical support, it’s also about creating a safe space to practice English, talk about career paths and discuss how to navigate getting started in such a fast paced world. Above all, Mentorship is about caring. If you would like to join our Mentorship program, please signup today!

The internship is a critical part of any young persons career journey. We are grateful to our employment partners from all over the world who provide practical, hands-on work experience in remote and/or in-person environments to our students.

If you or your company would like to learn more about participating in our internship program, do not hesitate to reach out. The internship is often the difference maker when it comes to helping a student land their first job!

Our students absolutely LOVE hearing from Guest Speakers, and we arrange countless conversations in person at our Hubs, as well as virtually throughout the year that often leave everyone feeling inspired and motivated to take on the big challenges in the world.

If you would like to speak to our students, we’d love to hear from you!

There are countless ways that we work with volunteers to further our mission and every relationship looks a little different. Whether you’d like to join a committee, help plan a fundraising event, or use your skills and time to impact a student’s life directly, we’d be honored to have you in our volunteer community.

One of our fundamental beliefs is that we all have a role to play in protecting our planet. In a small way, we do this by using exclusively second-hand laptops, helping to reduce the amount of technology waste that ends up in landfills.

If you or your company has gently used hardware that is still in working condition, please email donate@uncommon.org to learn how you can send your equipment to our students in Zimbabwe.
