WeCode KC Awarded 2025 Hunt Family Foundation Grant

WeCode KC is proud to announce that we have been selected as one of eighteen recipients of the 2025 Hunt Family Foundation Grant. This distinguished recognition honors our ongoing commitment to creating equitable pathways in technology through education, workforce development, and hands-on experience for youth in Kansas City. On the first day of practice for the Kansas City Chiefs, WeCode KC was honored during a special presentation by Chairman Clark Hunt and Ishmael Shumate, MBA. As part of this recognition, WeCode KC received a customized commemorative football symbolizing the shared values of excellence, leadership, and community impact. The grant will directly support our innovative workforce development program by providing stipends and internship opportunities for students learning full-stack development and cybersecurity. These opportunities are designed to equip our students with real-world skills and experience to thrive in today’s tech industry. We are deeply grateful to the Hunt Family Foundation for their partnership and investment in our mission. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive future in technology.
