Technology Assistance Program
Bridging the Digital Divide, Empowering the Future
In today’s world, access to technology isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. For many at-risk youth, lack of a computer, internet access, or digital literacy creates a barrier to education, employment, and essential resources. At One Way Love, we are committed to closing the digital gap by providing laptops, mobile devices, and internet access to youth who need them most.
By ensuring that young people can stay connected, complete schoolwork, apply for jobs, and access vital services, we are empowering them to build stable, independent futures.

Our Approach
Providing Essential Technology
For youth experiencing housing instability or financial hardship, owning a computer or having reliable internet is often out of reach. We provide:
-
Laptops & Chromebooks – To support schoolwork, job searches, and career development.
-
Prepaid Mobile Hotspots – For youth without stable home internet access.
-
Smartphones & Prepaid Phone Plans – Ensuring young people can stay connected to jobs, mentors, and emergency services.
Teaching Digital Literacy & Career Readiness
Access to technology is just the first step—knowing how to use it effectively is just as important. We offer:
📚 Training on basic computer skills, internet safety, and job applications.
💻 Guidance on using technology for education, job searches, and financial management.
🔍 Workshops on resume building, online job applications, and virtual interview skills.
