The Connectivity Project is dedicated to bridging the digital divide for individuals in crisis by providing access to refurbished cell phones, laptops, and essential digital connectivity services. In 2024, as connectivity becomes increasingly vital for accessing employment, education, healthcare, and essential resources, we recognize the urgent need for reliable devices. There are existing federal government cell phone programs, however, we specifically aim to address the gaps they leave for individuals who may not have the time to wait for assistance, are in crisis, lack a permanent address, or live in households that already have a government phone (only one is allowed per household). 

Additionally, one of our core missions is to combat e-waste; we prioritize refurbishing quality equipment over purchasing cheaply made devices that lack durability and contribute to landfill waste. 

Through strategic partnerships with community organizations, we empower those returning from incarceration, survivors of domestic and sexual violence, children aging out of foster care, those in crisis, and families in the process of reunification to connect, communicate, and thrive within a supportive digital ecosystem. The Connectivity Project is always seeking new and innovative ways to help bridge the digital divide, expand access to technology for those in need, and create a more robust ecosystem for these specific needs.
