Where your support goes
SkyBridge Technology Centers
In today’s digital world, essential tasks such as applying for jobs, accessing healthcare, pursuing education, and connecting to community resources often begin online. Yet many individuals experiencing housing instability lack access to the technology, internet connectivity, and digital skills needed to navigate these opportunities.
The SkyBridge Technology Centers were created to help close that gap by bringing technology, training, and support directly into trusted community organizations. Within the center, participants can take part in the SkyBridge Digital Literacy Program to build practical computer skills, earn industry-recognized certifications, and connect to employment opportunities.
Since launching the SkyBridge Technology Centers initiative, we have had more than 40 participants, more than 20 graduates of the Digital Literacy Program, and 15 participants have landed jobs following graduation.
Funds raise at this year’s gala will support the SkyBridge Technology Centers, helping close the digital literacy gap for more people.
