What We Offer

Closing Digital Divide

Offering Interactive Tech Awareness Sessions

The digital divide is widening, leaving underrepresented and marginalized communities at a significant disadvantage. Many students and parents lack awareness of tech careers, how to prepare for them, and the profound impact they can have on socio-economic status. The lack of knowledge is a barrier to opportunities, reinforcing cycles of inequality. As AI rapidly transforms our world, those without skills risk being left behind. We believe every child deserves a share of the tech progress, regardless of background, income, or circumstance – let's bridge the gap and unlock potential

Bridging the digital divide with 90-minute sessions that empower parents and students to thrive in tech. Join us to:

  • Explore tech careers and pathways

  • Connect with professionals from similar backgrounds

  • Get training and mentorship opportunities

Leveling the Playing Field

Providing Sports and Extracurricular sponsorship

Every kid deserves a chance to play and have the opportunity to stay healthy, thrive, and succeed. Our sponsorship program is designed to level the playing field by providing free coaching for select sports, providing financial assistance for equipment and registration for kids from low-income families.

If you're a parent, coach, or teacher looking to nominate a deserving student, we invite you to apply for sponsorship. This opportunity is open to kids who demonstrate:

  • Passion for sports or other extracurricular activities

  • Need for financial assistance.

Let's work together to give every kid a chance to shine.
