Help Us Reach Our Goal of $1.5 Million
To Celebrate 1.5 Million Students Reached & Sustain the Momentum for the Next 1.5 Million!
Ten years ago, a group of passionate educators, tech leaders, and disability advocates came together to solve a critical problem: the lack of digital accessibility skills in our workforce. That spark launched Teach Access, and since then, we’ve been closing the Accessible Technology Skills Gap, reaching over 1.5 million students, empowering hundreds of faculty, and influencing an entire generation of designers, developers, and professionals.
Now, as we celebrate 10 Years of Impact, we’re setting our sights on the future, and we need your support. Today, we’re excited to fully launch our $1.5 million initiative toward the next 1.5 million students. This effort enables us to continue scaling programs, fostering industry and faculty partnerships, and ensuring that accessibility is a foundational part of education and innovation.
