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.

TechArts Empowerment Foundation partners with organizations across Los Angels to help us achieve our mission. These organization’s support has made providing free training to the community possible.
