Hey! We are Bits of Good, a nonprofit focused on Changing lives one bit at a time. Based in Georgia Tech, the GT Bits of Good team connects our students with local nonprofits by building powerful web apps. As the Hack4Impact chapter in Georgia Tech, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that drives social impact by developing custom, pro bono software for local nonprofits. While we empower our nonprofit partners to work more efficiently and scale their impact, we also create opportunities for Georgia Tech students, both undergraduate and graduate, to spur meaningful change in the community around them. By building relationships with local nonprofits, we are redefining social good for students who want to make a meaningful impact with their technical background. We have helped 30+ nonprofits since 2017, ranging in focus from supporting incarcerated mothers and their newborn children to combatting food insecurity in the Atlanta area. Our organization develops real-world applications and promotes learning and mentorship at all levels, both from team members of diverse skill sets and from the close-knit, passionate club community. By assigning each nonprofit to a project team consisting of product designers, managers, and 4-6 developers, we make sure to execute all aspects of the development cycle for the software, from ideation to delivery. Every semester we also host two free bootcamps to give back to the Georgia Tech community. We have our developer bootcamp, offering an introduction to web development, and we have our designer bootcamp, providing the fundamentals behind UX/UI. These bootcamps should give students the crucial skills they need for both succeeding in Bits of Good and penetrating industry. No experience is needed to apply for either program! Even aside from all the software development, we have other opportunities in the fields of marketing, brand design, logistics, finance, and nonprofit relationship coordination. If you are passionate about social impact and want to use your unique skills to make a difference in our community, then you should apply to join Bits of Good!
