Our Purpose

Inspiredu’s purpose is to bridge the gaps in digital literacy and access by providing our communities most marginalized and vulnerable citizens with the resources and support they need to be competitive in pursuit of education and work preparedness.

Our work has revealed an urgent need for increased digital access and literacy among adults with school-age children, especially as Atlanta’s schools move further toward paperless and virtual learning models. Our initiatives, therefore, support both the future of work and the future of education.

We fill a unique void, as we are the state’s only nonprofit focusing specifically on opportunities to use technology as part of a child’s learning support system while also addressing the challenges of digital literacy, access, and inclusion in Atlanta’s highest-need communities. We address these specific challenges in three distinct ways by providing:

  • A home computer with wrap-around programming—including educational software, training, and technical support which could help families create more robust learning environments at home.

  • Opportunities to support the STEM pipeline by helping students build skills and explore careers in technology

  • Digital literacy courses for the most vulnerable parents, caregivers, and community members of the schools we serve.

Our investment in empowering our learners to be confident with technology has made us an asset to organizations in developing both their STEM curriculum and Family Engagement programs.
