Resources
Recognizing the need to better understand the role of technology in LGBTQ+ lives, LGBT Tech starts with research to create important resources for the LGBTQ+ community and allies.
Programs
Our work isn't all educational or academic. The work we do through our PowerOn and PATHS programs help inspire and create tangible change for LGBTQ+ individuals and communities.
PowerOn is a first-of-a-kind program that distributes technology to homeless, isolated, and disadvantaged LGBTQ+ individuals across the country through our network of LGBTQ+ grantee organizations.
PATHS is a program to inspire and motivate LGBTQ+ youth and young adults interested in careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) fields through storytelling by current LGBTQ+ STEAM professionals.
