i.c.stars is a Chicago-based nonprofit that seeks to open economic opportunities by connecting underserved young adults with the technology sector. Its program centers on hands-on learning, as participants build web applications for real client challenges while receiving instruction in coding, business, and leadership and building a professional network. Graduates move into technology roles with living wages, and many go on to establish nonprofits or advocate for community change, reflecting a leadership approach focused on creating opportunities for others. The organization operates in multiple cities, currently including Chicago, Milwaukee, and Kansas City, and positions itself as a workforce-development partner within the nonprofit sector. In 2026, i.c.stars announced an expanded strategic partnership with Tier4 Group to advance tech-talent development.
