CORPORATE SOCIAL JUSTICE
& ACCOUNTABLITY
SkillsCamp is a social impact organization built on a social justice framework. We have only known one way: do well by doing good, and then help others be well too.
We’re not just talk. From the beginning in 2016, SkillCamp has collaborated with various non-profits and community organizations to offer skills development to priority communities at no or extremely low cost. Beyond time and energy, we donate funds to various social initiatives as well such as those concerning social inequity and injustices.
Beyond our driving mission, which is of course that people need soft skills for personal and professional success, other issues we are primarily focused on are:
- Access to, and improved, education opportunities for all
- Digital wellbeing & safety for all, but especially youth
- Empowerment & entrepreneurship in underrepresented communities
SkillsCamp is committed to the Center for Digital Wellbeing
Our partnership ensures everyone can reach digital wellbeing.
INVESTING IN THE CENTER FOR DIGITAL WELLBEING
The Center for Digital Wellbeing is a not-for-profit (formerly #SafeSocial) with a mission to educate, empower, and advocate for an informed use of technology that enhances, rather than detracts from [mental, physical, spiritual, financial, intellectual, social] wellbeing. Technology should support our shared humanity. Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, a policymaker, a researcher, an activist, or a lifelong learner, we are going to try to make your work a little easier through our research, high-quality resources, and our own educational efforts.
To date, SkillsCamp has invested over $100,000 in ensuring #SafeSocial for all!
