Volunteerism is integral to the success of our programs. Our 10,000+ IT industry professional volunteers inspire the next generation of technology professionals by offering their time and knowledge to our students and to our non-profit partners.  Corporate volunteers regularly participate in NPower-organized Tech-Challenges benefitting NPower’s network of nonprofit employer partners by addressing their technology needs.
