Educationsuperhighway
For most of 2025, our mission was to close the digital divide for the 18 million households that have access to the internet but can't afford to connect. At the end of the year, we changed our mission to become a scholarship granting organization (SGO) focused on closing the k-12 literacy gap by providing literacy tutoring scholarships to students reading below grade level.
