INVEST IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF TECH TALENT
It is through partnership of thousands of i.c.stars supporters – C-Level technology executives, technology service providers, volunteers, and the alumni community – that we are able to continue to grow and thrive as a unique training program and social enterprise. Check out our opportunities below to learn more.
MORE THAN JUST YOUR DOLLARS
Every year volunteers—industry CIOs, business leaders, i.c.stars graduates and community members—help make our mission possible by giving their time to provide needed support for our training program and special events. In addition to supporting i.c.stars and our program participants, volunteering also allows high tech leaders to shape future talent and community members to support our graduates who give back through their leadership efforts.
There are multiple ways to donate to I.c.stars. You can donate your time, your resources in addition to your dollars. We encourage you to do all three!
HIGH TEA
You are invited to High Tea at i.c.stars! Join us for the most unique and inspiring executive volunteer experience. High Tea takes place every weekday afternoon during training sessions.
