5 Years of Cxmmunity!

Thank you to everyone who has supported Cxmmunity since our founding in 2019. We’ve developed programs, hosted career workshops, and raised awareness of career pathways in Esports and Gaming. Esports labs empower students to learn new skills and build their portfolios. Industry networking provides students with mentors, experts, and career guidance professionals.

The Cxmmunity Foundation continues to expand these opportunities for the next generation. Cxmmunity will be celebrating #5YearsOfCxmmunity through the end of the year.
