Education

Connecting Students to Their Dreams
We’re always looking for ways to link our philanthropy strategy with our technology, so enhancing our robust student mentoring initiative with an online mentoring program is an ideal fit. Working with leading non-profits and secure internet platforms, we’re able to connect our talented employees to students across the country virtually.

Two AT&T Employees. Two Generations. One Reaction.
Imagine that you are one of the nearly 20% of AT&T’s black employee base, and you hear the news that your company contributed $1 million dollars to the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).

Doing One Thing to Improve our Community in Bengaluru
How do you save more than 3,800 gallons of water and 40 pounds of trash in Bengaluru, India? You get together a bunch of dedicated colleagues who are passionate about making their world a better place. By working together over a year, my 75 colleagues and I demonstrate that small actions for good can add up to a big, positive impact. It all started with doing one thing – really.

Off the Beaten Path: My National Geographic Student Expedition Journey Across Peru
My name is Ethan Smyth, and this summer I embarked on what could only be described as a trip of a lifetime to Peru, courtesy of Nat Geo Mundo and AT&T. Over the course of nearly a month, I explored the capital city, hiked across ancient Incan sites including the fortress of Ollantaytambo and swam in the hot springs of Santa Teresa. We experimented with local cuisine, including delicious ceviche – raw fish cooked in lime juice – and cuy, also known as fried guinea pig! All of this led up to a highlight of the trip: hiking Machu Picchu, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.

Education

Proud to Be a Girl Who Codes
Coding is something I’ve wanted to do, since I was a kid obsessed with computers. Earlier this year, I applied for Girls Who Code’s Summer Immersion Program in New York. I promised myself to spend the summer learning programming languages, so my acceptance to the Girls Who Code program at AT&T was beyond exciting.

Across India: A National Geographic Student Expedition’s Journey
This summer I spent 14 hours on a plane to New Delhi, India. Much like everyone else, I don’t enjoy long flights but I had been looking forward to this one for months and not even the cramped seats could keep my excitement down. As soon as we landed I was greeted by a mass of people, all beautifully dressed in colorful Saris and Dhotis. The streets were full of activity and I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of traffic and cars, and the friendliness of everyone who waved as we passed by.

Adventures Through Nepal: My Journey with National Geographic Student Expeditions
Namaste! My name is Claudia Reid and this summer I was given the life-changing opportunity to travel to Nepal with National Geographic Student Expeditions. I spent 18 days in this beautiful country learning the history of Kathmandu, serving in a children’s home in the Talamarang village and seeing firsthand the damages from the 2015 earthquake. I even had the chance to ride an elephant through the jungle in Chitwan! Through it all, I was given an incredible new perspective on a country 8,000 miles away from my own, and a newfound respect and admiration for its people.

A Field Trip to the Future
I thought of myself as a tech-savvy millennial… and then I spent the day with Girls Who Code at Fullscreen Media. Sitting in the audience as teenage girls presented business recommendations about social sharing and streaming video, I realized that there has never been a more exciting time to be at the intersection of tech and media, and that I have a lot of catching up to do!
