(e)Mazing Race 2022

Each year, we host this full-day team-building event for our corporate sponsors. Our goal for this event is not only to help their staff better understand the communities we serve but also to provide opportunities for them to give back to their neighbors. The impact it has had on our communities on both sides of the digital divide has been unmatched. We hope that race participants will gain a deeper understanding of what they can do as employees of these companies and individuals in their communities to support digital inclusion efforts.

She states “The new thing is to move into tech.” She is excited for the opportunity to work in technology as a peer to those who learned through a university system because of the learning spaces courses.

Technology and education are focal points in my life. I was fortunate to be invited to the 2015 Inspire Gala where a mother talked about the impact of Inspiredu’s (PowerMyLearning at the time) family learning workshop in their lives. It was a moving testimonial. I called my wife on the way home and told her I wanted to be involved with the organization.

Volunteer Salute

“You can’t get time back, and time is the most precious thing to give if you can’t donate. Not everyone can donate money so the next best thing is to give your time to an organization like Inspiredu. You may be able to network if you’re aspiring to get into the tech industry, it’s a great way for you to give back to the community but also get to know the community and the folks that may have a job for you down the line.”

It is a privilege to be a part of an organization that does so much for the children in our community. The impact Inspiredu has on closing the digital divide in education and helping children be better prepared for life, is exceptional and exciting.
