关于我们

Connect Buffalo is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the digital divide in Buffalo, New York. Our mission is to provide free, reliable internet access and digital literacy programs to underserved communities across the city, ensuring that every resident has the opportunity to thrive in the digital age.

Connect Buffalo aims to change that by creating a more connected and inclusive community, where digital equity is at the heart of urban development.
