We are connecting tomorrow’s innovators with the resources they need today to help shape their future opportunities. Through partnerships with nonprofit organizations, original research and associate volunteerism, we’re addressing the digital divide and providing critical resources in local communities.  ### Closing the STEM Education Gap We invest time, talent and resources to help ensure K-12 youth have equitable opportunities to pursue successful careers in STEM. Advanced wireless technologies have emerged that can provide high-speed connections to homes and businesses quickly and affordably. The solution starts at the cell tower.

We recognize their commitment and the impact they are making, which is why we offer a variety of programs like personal donation matching, cause card rewards, dollars for doers, in-person volunteering and skills-based volunteerism. ### Bridging the Digital Divide for Youth UScellular’s After School Access Project is a program that provides mobile hotspots and two years of service to nonprofits that support youth after the school day has ended and provides safe internet access for homework and education.
