The “Pi a Tech Leader in the Face Fundraiser” will benefit
Computer Mentors Group, a local nonprofit that provides at-risk youth with certifications in various tech-based programs. The group teaches skills like mobile app development, website design, Microsoft Office certification and videography.
Nitro Mobile Solutions chose the Computer Mentors Group as the beneficiary of the community fundraising event after working with the nonprofit previously, Webber says.
The nonprofit’s mission is to provide opportunities for educational and employment success by bridging the technology divide for populations without sufficient economic resources. In 2014, Computer Mentors Group founder Ralph Smith contacted Nitro Mobile Solutions to arrange a mentorship relationship between the company and CMG participants.
“When we learned the cause and mission behind CMG, we immediately knew this was a nonprofit that we should support,” Webber says.
In November 2014, the Tampa Bay Lightning selected CMG’s David Harris as the ninth
Lightning Community Hero of the Year. CMG, which has been in the Tampa Bay area since 1997, is expanding programs thanks to the $50,000 Harris was awarded, which he donated to CMG.
Nitro Mobile Solutions is a growing mobile software development company in Tampa, Florida. The
company’s culture is a critical part of its success, Webber says.
Current
open positions with Nitro Mobile Solutions include an iOS Developer, Android Developer, C# .NET Developer, and Support Specialist.
