Byte Back
Mission Statement
Byte Back’s mission is to close the digital divide by providing under-resourced communities an equitable pathway into the digital economy. We achieve this through transformative digital advocacy, digital literacy, and tech certification training.
Project Abstract
First Time Technology (FTT) helps bridge the digital gap by providing refurbished computers to Byte Back graduates* and low-income individuals. We also provide computer repair and support services to DC residents and nonprofits. This work is an important component of our A+ Certification program as students serve as interns, giving them valuable hands-on experience in troubleshooting and computer repair.

The elderly
Full-time students
