A nonprofit that works to make the tech industry share its prosperity and answer for economic harms. It focuses on housing and working conditions, and publishes research such as the 2026 California AI Compass.
Why I recommend it: An advocacy group, so its reports argue a position. Its research on contract workers and AI in the workforce is useful for anyone weighing a tech job.
Free residential and non-residential career training and education for people ages 16-24 from low-income backgrounds, including housing, meals, and a living allowance during training.
Why I recommend it: The housing and stipend piece is what makes this work for people who cannot train and pay rent at the same time.
