Love seeing our staff out in the community sharing the persevere message!
Excited to share that I recently had the privilege of appearing on WREG-TV News Channel 3's "Live at 9" alongside Allen Farmer to discuss Persevere 's transformative work in our community! We had a fantastic conversation about how Persevere is opening doors in the tech industry for justice-impacted individuals and underserved communities. Through our comprehensive tech pathways program, we're providing completely FREE access to high-quality technology education and career opportunities. The best part? We're seeing real results. Our graduates are landing great jobs in tech and building sustainable careers. This isn't just about coding – it's about second chances, economic mobility, and building stronger communities. Thank you to the WREG News Channel 3 team for helping us spread the word about these life-changing opportunities. And a special thanks to Allen Farmer for being an incredible advocate for our mission. Want to learn more about our programs or get involved? Drop a comment below or DM me.

Together, we can create pathways to success for everyone in our community. #TechEducation #SocialImpact #CommunityDevelopment #SecondChances #TechCareers #DigitalEquity #Memphis #Persevere #NonProfit Jason Doty
