BHP Foundation: Help Us Close the Achievement Gap

Internet

November 28, 2012

Did you know that access to the internet is one of the key predictors of educational attainment and future income today?

Within our BHP community, 170 children do not have internet access at home. It will become increasingly difficult to close the achievement gap if homework becomes internet-based and our children go without accessible technology. The Boulder Valley School District knows this too, and that's why they are increasing the use of technology in the classroom and online access to homework, teachers and other resources.

To that end, we are launching a campaign to provide internet access at all of our housing sites. Please help us connect our children to educational opportunities by offering internet access in the homes of low income students and their families.
