Wash and Learn
At laundromats across 8 different states, we partner with local librarians and volunteer groups to truly meet people where they are. Together, we are turning laundromats across the country into centers of learning and engagement.

Ideas Box Puerto Rico
Our Ideas Box, a highly-durable, energy-independent multimedia center, was our solution for post-hurricane recovery in 2018. Stocked with internet, tablets, laptops, cameras, board games, books, art materials and even a stage for music and theater, this space is a hub for informal effective learning and community building.

We meet these communities where they are and provide them with the digital skills to access the resources that answer their questions.
