Let's Close the Gap Together!
Today, with COVID-19 interrupting services provided to communities nationwide, we need your support to ensure that CfAL families have uninterrupted access to technology and training programs.
From volunteering to joining our board or making a donation, you can join us! With you, we can close the technology gap and help families expand learning to their home.
Concepts for Adaptive Learning is able to sustain its programs through generous donations from foundations, businesses, volunteers, and individuals such as you.
Support of all types and sizes make a HUGE difference!
Donate Money
In light of COVID-19, your financial support is needed more than ever! As schools move to distant learning, urban districts are lightyears behind. New Haven ran out of Chromebooks a few weeks ago. As a result, Concepts For Adaptive Learning is receiving daily requests to step-in. Meanwhile, unemployment continues to rise - adults and parents need technology support to building meaningful skills that will help re-enter the workfoce.
Your financial contribution expands CfAL programs to more communities.
Financial contributions provide training and technology resources to more families. Donations help school children access distance learning, while adults benefit from building computer skills used in the workplace.
Your donation helps sustain programs that support children’s academic achievement and help adults build technology skills.
Donate Time
Do you have experience building computers? Are you familar with technology and want to help others? Your time is valuable! We are looking for volutneers to refurbish computers to be donated to families and support individuals in our virtual computer lab, known as HOLA! (HOLA! stands for Hands-on LIVE Assistance.)
Examples of volunteer support will range from teaching computer basics and creating resumes to applying to jobs online, as well as assisting students with computer assignments and build computer skills from learning to create websites to coding games.
Familiar with computers? We also need volunteers to help refubrish donated computers! Or become a mentor in our Tech4Teens program! Whatever your passion...we hope you will share it with us!
Volunteer shifts vary based on volunteers’ availability.
