For more than 100 years, AT&T has supported veterans, active military personnel and their families.
As part of our commitment to supporting veterans and closing the digital divide, we contributed $100,000 to Inspiredu, an Atlanta-based nonprofit working to bridge the gaps in device ownership, digital literacy and digital access.
This contribution supports Inspiredu’s Family Learning and Adult Literacy Programs to equip families and students with digital devices and technology resources. This contribution will also provide adult learners and veterans with essential digital skills training that will enable them to learn advanced job skills, access vital services and connect with others.
“At Inspiredu, we work every day to close the digital equity gap and address technological disparities in economically disadvantaged communities across Georgia. AT&T’s contribution allows us to significantly enhance our ability to serve more Georgia families and expand our Family Learning and Adult Digital Literacy Programs to reach more learners of all ages,” said Richard Hicks, CEO, Inspiredu. “With AT&T’s support, we are strengthening communities and creating more equitable opportunities for youth, families and veterans.”
Founded in 2020, Inspiredu is committed to helping bridge the gaps in digital literacy and access by providing Georgia’s most marginalized and vulnerable citizens with the resources and support they need to be competitive in pursuit of education and workforce preparedness. Inspiredu helps underserved youth in Georgia develop the skills needed for education and career success through technology‐based learning tools and engagement activities with their families, communities and schools.
“As we continue to prioritize investments in education and workforce development, AT&T’s support of Inspiredu is a great example of private and non-profit organizations coming together to ensure Georgians have access to the digital skills and resources needed to succeed in a 21st century economy,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “We’re thankful for AT&T’s contribution to Inspiredu’s Family Learning and Adult Digital Literacy Programs and look forward to the impact it will have as we make Georgia the Top State for Talent.”
Supporting these efforts is an honor for us, and we are proud to recognize Inspiredu and the veterans participating in its Adult Digital Literacy Program at a recent Atlanta Falcons game.
“At AT&T, we are committed to closing the digital equity gap through our investments in infrastructure and initiatives that connect Georgians to more opportunities. We believe everyone should have an opportunity to participate in today’s digital world, and we are proud to work alongside Inspiredu to provide digital resources and programming that equip today’s learners and veterans with the necessary skills to excel in their education and careers,” said Venessa Harrison, President, AT&T Southeast Coastal States. “Together, we are connecting more Georgians to greater possibility.”
With this contribution, AT&T and Inspiredu are reaching more people – students, adults, veterans and others – with the digital resource support they need to thrive in today’s digital world.
