We are a non-profit organization dedicated to equipping communities with the skills and know-how to jump start local economies. Why, you say? To allow those communities to become globally competitive. We believe that the future of economic growth and innovation in unserved "tech-desert" communities is right in front in them, on their keyboards, at their fingertips. All they need is a little know-how and the resources to take them where they need to go. That's why we are developing an authentic and inclusive tech ecosystem in the city of Detroit that taps into the heart and spirit of its residents. We're doing this through front and back end development training and start up education, by giving the community access to resources such as space, capital, advice and people. JOURNi's values are simple yet strong -- We promote Authenticity, Fearlessness, and Evangelism.
