about us
We Create Engaging Experiences
Our Story
HCS was founded in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was created with people in mind and our operations mirror that. We currently do pop-up centers across the city to be able to reach more people who don’t have access to reliable transportation. These centers let us teach tech classes to all ages completely for free. It also provides a space for anybody who are in other industries to be able to move their businesses into the digital space.
Why We Exist
We are raising funds and awareness for Haiti. Haiti is the poorest country in the northern hemisphere. Most of the population is unemployed and if they are employed they barely make enough to survive. Our goal is to provide young Haitians with web programming, networking, and cyber security courses. We also connect with global companies to provide jobs. The joint co-working space is to provide them the resources to work for any company in the world, right from Haiti.
