Urban Tech, an educational leader serving underrepresented communities nationwide in the last 28 years, is stepping up to empower students of color across the country and address educational disparities that hinder racial wealth equity. Through an exclusive tutoring and mentoring partnership with communities, a new Family Empowerment Center (FEC) has been created by Urban Tech to revolutionize the way learning is facilitated. For example, its newly developed Learning Accelerator will diagnose signs of academic struggle and send alerts to trained program partners including parents, teachers, and tutors who have been trained to address challenges promptly and provide additional support. By leveraging technology in learning, we believe we can level the playing field with our program partners and provide equal opportunities for under-resourced students in New York City to achieve improved academic performance and advance greater wealth over time.

Our goal is to provide equal opportunities for under-resourced students of color, fostering improved academic performance and enabling admission to specialized schools and colleges, advancing racial wealth over time.
