Staring July 2016, CEO & Principal , Sonja C. Stewart, started a group for Project Management Professional to give back to their communities starting in Oakland. The purpose of the group is to allow members to show their skills while at the same time giving back to their communities. Since Sonja is born, raised and currently lives in Oakland she want to start there. Since she's been volunteering the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area for over 20 years, she understand the challenges facing non-profits, community based organizations and kids so she decided to focus on teaching them project management skills.
In December 2016, while looking of a project she ran into the MADE (Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment - a non-profit that teaches kids how to program Scratch Video Games for free. Scratch was developed by MIT as a tool to teach kids how to code. Starting in December 2016, she and the MADE started partnering with the MADE teaching kids in her program to code and she teaching kids project management and leadership skills.
