One Degree uses technology to make it easier for low-income families in the Bay Area to find, manage and review nonprofit services, much like a Yelp for social services. Their web and mobile platform is easy to use and connects people to the real resources they need to overcome poverty. They have serviced more than 40,000 low-income Bay Area residents. They have recognized engineer Orlando Pineda as their Playmaker, who joined One Degree to code for good. He could have gone to work at any number of high profile tech companies but instead he chose to work at One Degree because he wanted to ensure that kids and families like his - he grew up as an undocumented immigrant - had access to educational resources.
