Gain invaluable experience by working on real-world, mission-driven projects that make a positive impact on people’s lives – all in exchange for a golden ticket that grants direct access to our highly sought-after partner companies.
The world is changing very rapidly, and technology is at the forefront of this change. We must provide access to opportunity for all, regardless of their background.
On Polish ground, we want to continue the work of our namesake – computer scientist Grace Hopper – by combining pioneership, creativity, and work ethic, while spreading knowledge on how society can benefit from technology on a much wider scale. This is our movement. A movement to make a di)erence and leverage the know-how collected by some of the most recognizable tech brands out there.

Our Mission
Our mission is to bridge the digital divide and provide equitable access to career opportunities in the IT industry for people of all ages and backgrounds. We believe that technology should empower everyone, regardless of their current circumstances. Through our programs and resources, we strive to bring about a world where everyone has access to the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the global economy. We are committed to providing top-notch training and resources so that people can develop the digital literacy necessary to make informed decisions, participate in society, and benefit from technological advances. We aim to eliminate digital poverty by providing resources that enable underserved communities to build capacity and gain access to new networks of potential jobs, investment opportunities, education, and information. Furthermore, we want to spark innovation among those already engaged with technology by cultivating an environment where pioneership merges with work ethics. We envision a world where sharing knowledge is commonplace, as it will lead to a better understanding between di)erent cultures, which is essential for economic growth worldwide. With this in mind, we support not only those who ask for our help, but also those who help others through their projects and initiativesOur Vision
We want to help build connections between NGOs, brands, and talent, so that we can proactively drive positive change in our society. In addition, we aim to inspire an ethical approach towards work, where individuals have a commitment to growth and improvement in whatever they do. By teaching these values through our training programs and resources, we hope to be able to infuse generations of young minds with a passion for pushing boundaries and exceeding expectations, no matter what their background may be. Ultimately, our goal is for every person in the world to have access to all the benefits of technology – from educational programs such as coding classes or language learning courses, to economic opportunities like connecting with customers or selling products online – without any limitations or boundaries in their way
Our Values
At the Grace Hopper Institute, we are committed to supporting our students and members in becoming successful professionals in their chosen field of technology. We value the courage to disrupt and the meritocracy that comes from breaking the status quo, and we are dedicated to building relationships between those with important skill sets and organizations where those skills can make an impact. Our goal is to provide access to opportunities regardless of age or background, which means connecting talented individuals with meaningful projects for NGOs and recognizable brands. We also understand that there is no replacement for hard work, so we strive to inspire our members to become pioneers in their industry by equipping them with knowledge, skills, and ethical work practices. Ultimately, our hope is that our alumni will help not just themselves but others as well by utilizing their talents at those organizations that need them most.
