GeekPack® Mission

GeekPack® is on a mission to create equity in tech! Our inclusive communities and learning paths empower adult learners to master the in-demand skills needed to build successful careers and grow thriving businesses. GeekPack aims to break down barriers and enable economic prosperity… one Geek at a time.

GeekPack® Core Values

Our core values reflect what we believe to be the secrets to success for our community and we work to hold ourselves and our organization to the same vision.

Curiosity

Every question, regardless of its nature, is an avenue for growth and improvement. Our thirst for knowledge drives us to continuously ask questions, always giving the benefit of the doubt. We never assume, we maintain an open-minded approach and we are receptive to new ideas.

Compassion

Our inclusivity ensures no one is judged for seeking assistance, and gratitude remains at the forefront of our interactions. Our compassion is demonstrated through the grace and respect we extend to others. Mindful of time and resources, we validate lived experiences, considering the broader circumstances that shape people's lives.

Connection

At the heart of our interactions is genuine connection and community. We value communication aligned with our ethos, striving to meet individuals where they stand. Vulnerability, honesty, and generosity are pillars in our approach to building relationships. We view every interaction as a conversation—a chance to collaborate, making our touchpoints meaningful.

Courage

We're unafraid to seek assistance, embodying bravery in every step. True courage is evident when we embrace our imperfections, openly admitting our uncertainties. Our adaptability empowers us to find silver linings in setbacks. Feedback drives our actions, and we're resolute in maintaining our boundaries, always challenging the conventional.

Creativity

Our solutions are effective and also filled with joy and uniqueness, keeping us agile in ever-evolving scenarios. We cherish and cultivate our innate interests and passions, allowing ourselves the mental space to envision grander possibilities beyond immediate tasks. Guarding against burnout, we chase opportunities with vigor, constantly exploring and taking initiative.

GeekPack® Vision

Together we are changing the face of tech by bringing 1 million voices into the conversation by 2030.
