We are on a MISSION

Global Patch is a 501c3 that provides advocacy and sustainable resources to increase equity and accessibility to video games, esports, media, and tech-related careers and education for under-represented, marginalized, and rural communities.

Global Patch’s vision is to create a world where everyone, everywhere can work in video games, esports, media, technology, engineering, and tech - industries without being hindered by a lack of access to resources, lack of career opportunities, geographical discrimination, career gate-keeping, inequitable treatment, and hostile working conditions.

Our Founder represented Florida State University in the capital advocating for educational technology and tech-based teacher resources for rural communities. This is the space where the idea of using gaming as a teaching modality was nurtured.
