Academia y educación

The mission of Community College Preparatory Academy (CCPrep) is to provide the education and skills development that will empower and prepare under-credited adults for postsecondary education success, viable employment and lifelong learning. We raise funds to support tech access for our adult learners.

We provide pro bono services in coordination with student projects, to help connect folks and teams to our alumni and partners, and to share opportunities within our greater community to learn or get support through learning or access to partners. We want to explore providing discounts or free course options for front-line workers, DC government and citizens.

At Rocketship Public Schools, we believe in the infinite possibility of human potential. We believe that every student deserves the right to dream, to discover, and to develop their unique potential. And it is our responsibility and our privilege to unleash the potential inside every Rocketeer we serve. Our non-profit network of public elementary charter schools propels student achievement, develops exceptional educators, and partners with parents who enable high-quality public schools to thrive in their community. Rocketship DC consists of three schools: Rise Academy (Ward 8), Legacy Prep (Ward 7), and Infinity Community Prep (Ward 5).

Trinity is developing academic programs including postsecondary courses and certificates to improve educational opportunities for DC residents who want to become more tech proficient. Trinity provides continuing education courses for teachers to improve tech skills, and we are developing low cost programs for adults to develop skills in topics such as data analytics.

It is the position of the University of the District of Columbia, the only public land grant institution of higher education in and for the nation's capital, that it is through the promotion of digital fluency, we empower students to learn how to learn and use digital tools to be successful in class, career, and life. Our history, mission and the community we serve uniquely positions us to play a leading role in bridging the digital divide, making digital learning spaces more equitable in the District, and setting an example for other higher education institutions in urban settings across the country/nation to do the same.
