To promote social good by creating custom, sustainable software for nonprofit organizations.

Every year, we partner with three 501(c)(3) orginizations within the Los Angeles area. Many nonprofits are bound in their reach and scope of technology, so we're here to help free of charge so they can execute their mission to its fullest extent.

To accomplish this, CTC is structured into teams comprised of a project manager, technical lead, developers, and designers. The executive board manages recruitment, events, and fun.
