Help Bring Diversity to Cybersecurity! Sponsor a Chicago Community College Student to attend Hacker Summer Camp. It costs $1,000 per student and our 2024 goal is to fund 10 students.

City Colleges of Chicago's Cybersecurity Career Accelerator (CCA) is seeking sponsorship to send non-traditional community college students to Hacker Summer Camp, where they can take their first steps towards a career in cybersecurity. Thanks to our partnership with the Black Hat Conference Associate program, we have reduced the cost of Hacker Summer Camp significantly. Students will work Black Hat and in exchange receive access to all Black Hat recordings, lodging, most meals, and a free ticket to DEF CON.

Eligible students have completed cybersecurity training and are looking to enter the industry. Your contribution will support their participation in these conferences, enabling them to connect with industry professionals, learn from experts, and explore cutting-edge advances. It is an opportunity for them to showcase their skills, passions, and potential, while also providing them with the exposure they need to secure their first cyber job.

Your support amplifies diversity in cyber by empowering aspiring professionals to bring their unique perspectives and insights. Together, we can create an inclusive and innovative environment for the future of cybersecurity.
