How Access to Technology Transforms Lives

Technology access has become essential in today’s world, yet so many people in low-income communities still don’t have the tools they need. That’s where AccessGR comes in—we're working hard to bridge this digital divide by providing refurbished laptops and digital support to those who need it the most in Grand Rapids.

There are endless ways that access to technology impacts someone's life. Think about a student trying to do homework or take online classes without a reliable device. Or a job seeker who can’t apply for positions because they don’t have the technology to submit a resume or attend virtual interviews. We’re seeing this all the time, and our goal is to make sure everyone has a fair shot at succeeding in today’s digital landscape.

Real Community Impact

Through AccessGR, we’ve helped countless individuals get access to the technology they need. Whether it’s a parent who’s able to help their child with schoolwork for the first time, or a job seeker finally securing employment after being able to use their new laptop—these are the stories that drive our mission.

Access to technology should be a basic right. We’re committed to ensuring everyone in Grand Rapids has the opportunity to succeed in the digital age.
