When Accenture had the opportunity to rethink its corporate philanthropy in New York, the leadership wanted to see if starting something new and radically different could have a greater impact. With that goal in mind, Accenture worked with others in the business and nonprofit communities to found NPower NY, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the technological capacity of the nonprofit community. Accenture worked with NPower NY to use its professional expertise and innovation to create the Technology Services Corps (TSC). TSC is an innovative program that looks at an unskilled pool of young people and sees in them a solution to the nonprofit community’s technology gap. According to NPower NY, the mission of the TSC is “to transform youth ranging from 18 to 25 from the streets into successful geeks.”
