Urban Ed is a community technology center based in the District of Columbia serving children, youth and adults. Our mission is to provide education, information, and skill development to low-income people of color to foster economic independence.

Our vision is to transform disenfranchised neighborhoods through education. Browse our site to learn more about our Pathways to Prosperity initiative.

We need you to help us move 130 children, youth and adults each year out of poverty. We need you the most through your sponsorship and your time.

Join us with a tax deductible contribution toward something that is more of an investment than a donation. What impact will your investment make?

Last summer, a parent came in to drop off her 5 year old son, very excited about the evening before. She was amazed at how he could actually type out as well as recite to her all of the equations to add 1 through 10. She was nearly in tears as her son had struggled throughout the school year with getting his addition right.

After two years participating in our programs, a 17 year old young man with a developmental disability landed an internship with the FBI, has graduated from high school and is college bond to continue to study computer science.

Getting her Microsoft Office Specialist certifications, our president placed a young TANF mother of two into a job as a lead training starting at $40,000 a year.

Spending less than six months with us an ex-offender trained and passed the A+ IT Technician global certification exams and we made a powerful recommendation on his behalf to Robert Half Technology, one of the largest IT placement firms, for an entry-level Help Desk position.

These real examples are the difference your support will help us make.
