We’re proud to highlight the Rosa Parks Computer Learning Lab at the J.W. James African Methodist Episcopal Church in Maywood.

The lab provides residents with access to computers, internet, and digital skills training while creating a welcoming community space focused on learning, connection, and opportunity.

Supported in part through the IMPACT Small Grants program, a partnership with , projects like this show the importance of investing in local organizations that understand and support the needs of their communities. Expanding digital access means helping residents connect to jobs, education, healthcare, government resources, and more.
