The question of whether everyone can code is a big one. The good news is, absolutely. There's a massive amount of work out there, enough for everyone to find their niche and start contributing. That's exactly what live sharing is for.

Demo day, Salem style 🦎🔥

The Technolotls served up their very first product demo today at our Mother’s Day BBQ — four brilliant young women from different Salem communities, stepping into software, showing the moms who raised them what they’ve been building. 💐

This is what UPLIFT is about: pouring into the next generation of engineers right here in Salem, and watching them rise. 🚀

To the moms — none of this happens without you.

Thank you for raising builders.

📸 Hey Salem! We're looking for local photographers willing to donate their time for a good cause.

UPLIFT is a free tech workforce development program for Salem youth — our spring cohort is starting soon, and we'd love to get professional headshots for our students. Many of them are preparing for job interviews and internships for the very first time. A professional photo makes a real difference.

If you're a photographer who'd be interested in doing a short headshot session (even just 1–2 hours), we'd love to connect. Your portfolio gets real, compelling subjects. Our students get a professional edge.

DM us or email [email protected] 🙌

📸 Salem photographers — we need you.

UPLIFT Foundation is looking for local photographers willing to volunteer 1-2 hours for free professional headshots for our graduating cohort.

These are Salem youth who just completed our 8-week tech and workforce readiness program. Many have never had a professional photo taken — and a great headshot can mean the difference between getting the interview or getting passed over.

What you get:
✓ Community service portfolio shots
✓ A feature on our social media (10k+ reach)
✓ Tax-deductible service donation
✓ The knowledge that you helped a Salem youth land their first job

Interested? Drop a comment below, DM us, or email [email protected]

Sessions would take place in Salem — we're flexible on location.
