Closing the digital divide on Do More 24

Organization Mission:

NERDiT Cares believes in empowering underserved communities by ending the digital divide. NERDiT Cares is dedicated to closing the digital divide by creating equitable access to technology devices and offering industry-standard technological career training, apprenticeships, and job placement. To this end, we have donated over 11,000 computers to people living in at-risk neighborhoods in Wilmington, DE, and throughout the region in the past five years. Our workforce development programs have helped over 75 residents change their career trajectories and become certified for high-paying IT careers. Thank you, fellow NERD!

NERDiT Cares is on a mission to empower underserved communities and close the Digital, Income, and Wealth Divides. 

We donate thousands of computers each year providing children and families with the tools necessary to study in school, apply to a job or to college, or simply connect with family and society. 

Our certified Apprentice and Pre-Apprentice programs help young people in Delaware qualify for IT careers. Entry level tech jobs pay at least $15 an hour and can provide the foundation for a long and successful career. Our graduates gain their entry level certifications, receive soft skills coaching, are provided with supports to meet all of lives typical challenges, and participate in job placement programs. After NERDiT, they thrive!

We believe that everyone should be afforded the opportunity to have technology in their lives!
