In Short...
Hey, I'm Bryan McBurney I'm a small business owner in London, Kentucky.
Having been in the technology business for over 15 years I have seen the
digital divide continue to grow and the need for programs to help
create opportunities for the under served and vulnerable persons in our
community.
What We Need...
Our first goal is to raise $3,500.00 to fund the process of incorporating as a non profit.
Our Mission - is to provide easily accessible
technology and training, close the technology gap between the haves and
the have-nots by providing skills for people of all ages, race and
genders and creating educational, economic and personal opportunities
through the tools of technology to better the lives of all.
Our Vision
- is to be the leader in digital inclusion in Southeastern Kentucky. We want to help all people gain the knowledge, skills and abilities they need to achieve success and improve their lives in an increasing digital world.
Our Goal - is to provide programs that help empower the residents of our community and enhance their quality of life.
Some of the programs we will be offering include:
-
Computers 4 Kids-Will provide learning skills through caring mentorship, structured
training, a vibrant learning environment, and access to a computer at
home. The program uses computers as a catalyst for youth to challenge
themselves, become engaged in their own learning, and realize greater
possibilities academically, professionally, and for their community.
-

Technology 4 All is committed to enhancing the
lives of Southeastern Kentuckian's by partnering with local community
organizations, educational institutions, corporations, foundations and
technology providers in the public and private sector to see that
everyone has the same access to technology and training to improve their
lives.
The Impact...
We want to change lives through technology by providing skills that will enhance the lives of our residents and helping to bring higher paying jobs to the community, keeping our children at home and reducing the dependance on government assistance and providing somewhere else to turn besides drugs.
