An unidentified volunteer said CultureCrash "changed my life," describing the nonprofit as a way to bring coding and technology to underserved communities around San Jose.
The speaker said the program helps students access education and mentorship they might otherwise miss. "It makes them have somebody that they can look up to," the speaker said, adding that volunteers connect with children over shared interests such as "Pokemon, soccer, video games," which can make mentoring more effective.
The speaker urged more young men to join CultureCrash, saying the work is "very beneficial for young men to join" and that during college it can provide employment that "impacts thousands of kids." No formal program details, budgets, or sponsoring agencies were provided in the remarks. The comments were presented as personal testimony about the volunteer experience and the perceived benefits for participating youth and for volunteers themselves.
The speaker emphasized both the mentoring role and the opportunity for students to find meaningful, paid work while in college. There was no vote or formal action recorded in the transcript and no additional speakers identified in the excerpt.
