Our Programs

Everything Guided Growth Outreach Foundation offers is free to participants. We are committed to removing every barrier between underserved youth and the skills that can change their lives.

IT and Cybersecurity Introduction Series

Our flagship program is a five-week introductory course held once per week, designed for youth of mixed ages in underserved communities in the Columbia and Richland County area.

Students learn foundational IT concepts, cybersecurity awareness, digital literacy, and practical technology skills -- the same skills that professionals use every day in one of the fastest growing and highest paying industries in the world.

What students gain:

• Hands-on technology experience in a structured learning environment

• Introduction to career pathways in IT and cybersecurity

• Digital literacy skills that apply across every area of life

• Exposure to an industry where they are underrepresented but absolutely belong

Who we serve:

Youth of all ages in underserved communities in Richland County, South Carolina -- with a specific focus on Black youth who face systemic barriers to technology education and career access.

Cost to participants: Free
