PRIDE Museum Information

PRIDE Museum is a nonprofit organization committed to expanding educational perspectives on technology and science for African American youth in Silicon Valley. The vision and eventual fruition are clearly the culmination of years of thought, research and expertise on the part of the founder, Pamala Springs, her commitment to the Silicon Valley community and passion for the benefits of and innovation of technology. I too share this vision to advance the technology education for youth. My technical career, professional affiliations and history of philanthropy have afforded me an opportunity to inspire and mentor youth concerning their future roles as industry experts, community and world leaders. PRIDE Museum, with its stimulating youth programs and inspired partnerships with educational, technical and scientific professionals, embodies the formula of a winning outreach organization. Collaboration is one of its core values and fulfilling a commitment to community, volunteerism and philanthropy will add to the success ratio for youth in the technology-enriched Silicon Valley. These strong attributes have led PRIDE Museum to maintain a much-admired, extensive, network of support. As a 20-year technology manager, I have noticed that employees who are most successful and passionate about technology are those whose families, extended families or their "village" (their mentors, school teacher, etc.) have helped instill the importance of technology in every part of their lives. The PRIDE Museum is that village and is clearly the epitome and culmination of many years of preparation. It is a foundation for success, and with Pamala, the BOD and Advisors, I know that the PRIDE Museum will be the stalwart and model of technology innovation and will touch and be an enriching part of the lives of millions of young adults.
