Technology Access for First-Generation, Low-Income Communities Near Jurupa Valley and Montclair

The students growing up near Jurupa Valley and Montclair are as capable as anyone in the country. What they lack is access: devices, reliable internet, and the coursework that helps turn curiosity into opportunity. Our goal is to raise $50,000 toward this. After the funding platform’s processing fees, we intend to direct contributions toward hardware, connectivity, and tools for first-generation, low-income students in the Inland Empire communities we know best. This is a goal, not a guarantee, and plans may change.

Devices

Laptops and tablets for students who do not have access to a personal computer at home. Hardware is the baseline. No curriculum, however good, reaches a student without a device to run it.

$20,000 target
Connectivity

Subsidized broadband access for families in areas with limited infrastructure. A device without internet is a locked room. We want to help fund that connection.

$15,000 target
Coursework

Software licenses, learning platforms, and AI-assisted CS tools that we hope to offer students in districts such as Jurupa Unified and Chaffey Joint Union High School District, subject to those districts’ agreement. Built around what these students actually need to access higher education and technology careers.

Computer Science and Educational Tools for First-Generation, Low-Income Students

First-generation, low-income students face a system that was not designed with them in mind. We intend to change that in the communities we know best, starting locally. We have begun early, exploratory outreach to districts in the Inland Empire that serve large first-generation student populations, including Jurupa Unified School District and Chaffey Joint Union High School District. These conversations are preliminary and do not reflect any agreement or endorsement by those districts. Our goal is to understand the specific gaps these students face, then build validated CS curriculum and AI-assisted learning tools tailored to those needs. We plan to launch when we have the resources to do it properly and the relationships to do it with trust.

Starting with

Jurupa Unified School District and Chaffey Joint Union High School District, Inland Empire, California

Who we are building for

First-generation, low-income high school students with no existing CS pathway and no family roadmap for navigating higher education

Coordination Tools for Southern California Shelters

Southern California faces one of the country's most urgent homelessness crises, met every day by shelter staff who give extraordinary care with limited resources. The barrier is rarely will or effort. One of the gaps they face is information infrastructure. Intake is manual, resource matching is fragmented, and when someone moves between facilities their history too often has to be rebuilt from scratch, which delays the care they need. We are in the early stages of building relationships with shelter operators in Southern California to understand the specific coordination problems they face. When we have the resources and the partnerships in place, we plan to build validated intake and triage tools that let staff spend less time on paperwork and more time with people.

Where we are starting

Southern California. Building outreach relationships with shelter operators in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.

What we plan to build

Validated intake tools, cross-shelter resource matching, and case coordination software. Built with shelter staff, not just for them.

03 / Animal Shelters 5.8M

companion animals enter US shelters each year. Approximately 607,000 are euthanized each year, many for reasons of time, space, and limited resources rather than a lack of people willing to give them homes.

Planning

Smarter Placement for Dog Pounds and Animal Shelters

The animals in our shelter system are not running out of people who would love them. They are running out of time before the right match is made. Shelters operate in isolation, with no shared infrastructure and no reliable way to surface compatible adopters across facilities. We plan to develop adopter matching and behavioral intake tools designed to shorten length of stay and improve placement outcomes. We are currently identifying potential shelter partners and building an understanding of how their intake and placement workflows actually operate before writing a line of code.

What we plan to build

Adopter matching tools, behavioral intake profiles, and cross-shelter transfer coordination, built around how shelters actually work

The scale

Roughly 3,500 shelters in the US currently operate without shared infrastructure. Better information could improve outcomes for many of the animals in them.

Roadmap

What we plan to accomplish by end of 2026

This is a planning timeline, not a delivery schedule. Every milestone depends on resources, relationships, and doing the groundwork correctly. We publish this publicly because accountability to a clear plan is part of how we operate.

Initial District Conversations

Begin formal conversations with Jurupa Unified School District and Chaffey Joint Union High School District. Identify the right administrators, counselors, and teachers to build with. Understand the specific barriers these students face in accessing CS education.

Jul

Shelter Outreach Begins

First structured conversations with shelter operators in Southern California. Map the existing information infrastructure, identify coordination pain points, and begin building the trust required to design tools that actually fit how shelters operate.

Listening and Needs Assessment

Campus visits at JUSD and Chaffey JUHSD. Student and teacher listening sessions to understand where the CS education gap is actually felt, not where it is assumed to be. Document findings to inform curriculum design.

Curriculum Framework Development

Begin developing the CS curriculum framework informed by feedback from districts willing to engage with us. Focus on what first-generation students need to access higher education and technology careers, not a generic syllabus. Identify the tools that could be AI-assisted without introducing unreliable outputs.

Shelter Workflow Documentation

Complete structured documentation of how intake, triage, and placement currently work at shelters that agree to participate. This is the foundation for building anything useful. No software until the problem is understood clearly.

First Prototype Review

Share early-stage curriculum tools with JUSD and Chaffey JUHSD administrators and teachers for structured feedback. This is a review, not a launch. The goal is to confirm we are solving the right problems before committing to a pilot.

Partnership Development and Progress Report

Work toward formalizing relationships with interested school districts and shelters, contingent on resources being in place and mutual agreement on terms. Publish a transparent progress report documenting what we set out to do, what we completed, what changed, and what comes next in 2027.
