Some people are allergic to unthinking rules and bad systems.
A few also have the talent and vision to will something better into being:
hackers.
We can either embrace them and reap the magic, or alienate them and suffer the loss.
It's time we chose the wiser path.

Introducing the Hack Club Gap Year Fellowship

This is a paid full-time in person role at Hack Club HQ. $50k/year + $2k hardware + healthcare & benefits. It's intended to be something you do for a year before you go to college or whatever your plans are after high school, but if you are on an alternate schooling path that works too!

The job is to design and execute on the next generation of You Ship, We Ships!

The people who have this job today are all of the Hack Club staff you see running programs. This is the next batch of people running Hack Club!
