Empowering At-Risk & Under-Served Youth Through Technology and Mentorship
FutureMakers Academy, the flagship program of The TechBridge Foundation Inc., provides at-risk and under-served youth in Gwinnett, Hall, Barrow, and Jackson counties with hands-on STEM experiences, leadership training, and career-focused mentorship. Our goal is to equip students with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive academically and professionally.
Our Programs
STEM Learning
Students engage in coding, robotics, and digital technology projects that build problem-solving skills, creativity, and confidence. FutureMakers Academy provides access to STEM programs for youth that are both educational and inspiring.
Leadership & Life Skills
Through structured workshops and mentorship, students develop communication, teamwork, and critical thinking skills, preparing them to succeed in school, careers, and life.
Youth Esports Programs
Our structured esports programs teach strategy, collaboration, and digital literacy. Participants gain confidence and real-world skills while enjoying a safe, competitive gaming environment.
Why FutureMakers Academy Matters
Many middle school students in our service area lack consistent access to STEM exposure or mentorship.
FutureMakers Academy changes that by partnering with schools and Boys & Girls Clubs to remove barriers and deliver technology education directly where youth are. Each student experiences hands-on, mentor-supported learning in a safe, engaging environment that builds confidence, teamwork, and creativity.
