ABOUT #TECHPARATODOS
Latinos for Education is mobilizing key stakeholders to help close the digital divide across the Commonwealth for vulnerable Latino families and students. Currently, there are thousands of students across Massachusetts who still need reliable devices, equitable broadband access, and digital literacy training for them and their families. Help us provide #TechParaTodos by donating, signing and sharing our campaign.
With everyone’s cooperation, Latinos For Education will help provide the technology devices students need to participate in remote learning.
Latinos for Education for is a proud partner of the NBCUniversal Supporting Our Schools Initiative.
DONATE
Latinos for Education is partnering with corporate sponsors to provide the tech devices that students need to engage with learning such as Chromebooks, Wi-Fi hotspots, and headphones, among others. In an effort to provide connectivity, we will also be working with partners to subsidize the cost of internet services for families in need. We will be collaborating with 14 school districts across the commonwealth and nonprofit organizations in those communities to ensure the devices get in the hands of the most vulnerable students.
In partnership with Tech Goes Home, we will be providing digital literacy training for parents so that they can support their children’s learning at home. We hope to raise funds to support and expand Tech Goes Home’s work.
