Achieve Community

Achieve Miami seeks to strengthen our community by partnering with others to invest in solutions to our community’s most pressing needs. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted two major areas of inequity in our community that Achieve Miami has stepped up to tackle: digital inequity and food access. Learn more about our work below.

WHERE & WHEN
Miami Connected will begin offering sponsored internet service to M-DCPS students in four neighborhoods:

  • Overtown
  • Little Hati
  • Liberty City
  • Homestead

WHO

  • Parents/guardians with a student attending an eligible Title I school will be invited to apply for free internet.
  • Many digital literacy resources are available to all Miami-Dade residents at www.miamiconnected.com/digital-literacy

Miami Connected is a collaborative initiative that will bring free broadband connectivity, digital literacy, and career opportunities in technology to more than 100,000 students and their families in Miami-Dade County 

Led by Achieve Miami and The Miami Foundation, this public-private partnership represents a unified effort to make Miami-Dade the most technologically inclusive county in the nation. Currently, more than one in five Miami-Dade County residents are disconnected from the internet, and Miami is the second least-connected large city in the United States.

WHERE & WHEN

  • Twice per month
  • Saturday mornings, 10AM-12PM

WHO

  • Any family in need of food assistance is invited to come pick up a week's worth of healthy groceries (both perishable and non-perishable goods)
