TechArts Foundation, Bridging the Gap
The digital divide in the United States is a significant and persistent issue that reflects disparities in access to and utilization of digital technology and the Internet. While the country has made substantial progress in increasing internet connectivity over the years, there remain substantial gaps that primarily affect marginalized and underserved communities.
By reaching communities that are often left behind in the digital age, TechArts Empowerment Foundation seeks to bridge the digital divide in Los Angeles County. Our approach focuses on empowerment through education, creativity, and innovation, ensuring that all young minds have the opportunity to transform their impossible dreams into possible realities.
Access to Technology
Our mobile training suite and the "InnovateVan," are designed to bring technology and digital education directly to communities that lack access to traditional resources. By providing technology training where it's needed most, we aim to level the playing field for underserved youth.
Affordable Training
TechArts is dedicated to making technology training affordable and accessible. For most of the learners, tuition will be free based on income. We offer scholarships and sliding-scale payment options to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation in our programs.
30% of Hispanic youth do not possess the digital skills, required to navigate into today’s world.
