PADDLE WITH A PURPOSE

Your support powers a unique program where young adults receive hands-on training and paid internships to help mission-driven nonprofits thrive. Interns learn Salesforce and consulting skills, then apply them directly to real projects that drive social impact. It’s an investment in both future tech leaders and stronger communities.

What Your Donation Supports

At StrideLabs, we believe in creating opportunities that yield dividends and continue to pay them forward.

Through paid internships, we equip young adults from underrepresented communities with real world tech skills, training them to become salesforce solution experts, technology advisors.
We then place these now skilled young professionals in non profit organizations to help the non profits become more efficient by more effectively using Salesforce to run their businesses

For each $7500.00 we raise, we can train and place a candidate and get a non-profit up and running!!
