Partners in Bridging the Digital Divide

Nearly 4.5 Million US households with students still lack consistent access to a computer and the internet at the most vital point of their learning journey.

In a world where online and distance learning is commonplace over 17% of children ages 3-18 live in US households without a laptop or a desktop computer. This divide grows larger each day as more and more services go online leaving more families without access.

" By advocating for and supporting digital access for the underserved and underrepresented, we encourage and grow the next generation of learners, leaders, and problem solvers. With our partners in Bluum and NCDE, we have a program that not only provides affordable devices to low and moderate income learners, but also the crucial inclusive resources that create and provide access to opportunities for them to make a difference."
