Accepting Applications for Microsoft’s Ninja Camp and disAbility Scholarship!

________________________________

Hello NGO Partners,

Happy New Year! We are accepting applications for two Microsoft programs designed to empower youth with disabilities and build a pipeline of talent. We request your support in promoting these programs in your communities to expand our reach, drive applications and increase participation.

Ninja Camp

Last August, we launched a weeklong Ninja Camp<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTkwMTEwLjk5OTA3NDgxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE5MDExMC45OTkwNzQ4MSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MzQ2NDUzJmVtYWlsaWQ9bm5pZ2h0aW5nYWxlQGNvbWNhc3QubmV0JnVzZXJpZD1ubmlnaHRpbmdhbGVAY29tY2FzdC5uZXQmdGFyZ2V0aWQ9JmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY=&&&101&&&https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?data=02%7C01%7Cv-mypad%40microsoft.com%7C693546fc924b4fa58fcc08d65ef3d2dd%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636800798644556426&reserved=0&sdata=oKNm0g1fu4%2BHwDsObNxHpUkB1uS4IKOIYHyUPeLcjzo%3D&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsway.office.com%2FFwgX5fARpYd4Jgfh%3Fref%3DLink%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_source%3Dgovdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery> at our Redmond, WA campus for high school students with disabilities to provide an introduction to technology, life at Microsoft, and the future of accessibility. Our goal for 2019 is to expand the camp to serve 50 middle and high school students (current 7th-10th graders). Participants will develop digital skills using Microsoft products, connect with Microsoft employees with disabilities, learn to leverage their personal strengths, and train to join the next generation of Accessibility community leaders. This free day camp will take place from 9:00am-4:00pm on August 12-16, 2019 at the Microsoft Corporate Campus in Redmond, WA. Students outside of the Seattle area are welcome to apply and are encouraged to work with their families to arrange housing and transportation to and from camp as needed.
