Darius McCoy entered Digital Harbor Foundation‘s Federal Hill tech center as one of its first youth members soon after it opened. Now he’s overseeing operations inside the building.
Earlier this month, McCoy was promoted to the position of tech center director of the maker education nonprofit. In the role, he will be responsible for overseeing implementation of youth-serving programs, including initiatives focused on providing youth employment. He’s looking to focus on increasing the organization’s reach and diversity, as well as creating new opportunities for youth.
“Darius is uniquely positioned to serve in this newly-created role,” said Andrew Coy, Digital Harbor Foundation’s Executive Director. “While we knew that one day the youth we taught would be leading this work, we didn’t anticipate it would happen this quickly. Since walking into our space during the first semester we were open, Darius has developed the skill set to become a leader in the space and helped develop our programs along the way.”
