UScellular announced it has donated 300 wireless hotspots and two years of service to the YWCA of the Quad Cities. The donation is worth $337,800 as part of the company’s After School Access Project, according to the company who stated the effort is to help “provide equitable learning access and opportunities and keep local youth connected.”
“The success of students in the communities we serve is very important to us at UScellular,” said Joshua Olbricht, UScellular’s director of sales and operations for east Iowa. “Connecting people and communities is our mission, and the After School Access Project is just one way that we’re helping ensure students have the reliable access they need to grow and pursue their dreams.”
The hotspots provided through the After School Access Project connect to UScellular’s network to provide high-speed connectivity for youth. The carrier said it is focused on addressing gaps in STEM education and is committed to connecting more than 200,000 of tomorrow’s innovators each year with the resources they need today. Since 2009, UScellular has donated nearly $22.6 million along with countless experiences and technology items to nonprofit organizations nationwide.
