"The Knowledge House addresses digital inequity by providing tech education, career pathways, and digital literacy to people of all ages. "The South Bronx is where I was born and raised," the founder said. "We started TKH to make sure Bronx residents and other low-income communities have access to tech training and tech careers, so they're not left out of the digital economy.""
"The Knowledge House operates three core programs. The Workforce Development Program provides job training for adults seeking to enter or advance in the tech sector. The Youth Technology Program introduces young people to coding, STEM education, and technology careers, supporting students as they decide between college and alternative career paths. The Digital Literacy Program offers foundational technology skills to a broad audience - from youth and parents to seniors - teaching them to navigate computers, the internet, and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence."
Jerilyn Rodriguez-Williams co-founded and leads The Knowledge House (TKH), a South Bronx nonprofit launched in 2014 to build a pipeline of technologists and digital leaders from low-income communities. TKH is headquartered at 79 Alexander Ave., Suite 51-A, South Bronx, NY, and serves more than 500 students annually across six regions after growing from a grassroots effort with borrowed space. Core programs include Workforce Development for adult tech job training, Youth Technology for coding and STEM pathways, and Digital Literacy for learners of all ages to navigate computers, the internet, and emerging technologies including artificial intelligence. TKH will mark its 12th anniversary in October.
