Together with vendors, customers, employees and community partners, the Best Buy Foundation is committed to improving tech equity for teens.
Through Best Buy Teen Tech Centers, teens have unparalleled access to:
- Cutting-edge technology, resources and training to make, create and innovate
- Mentors and peers who inspire new passions and possibilities
- Technical training and college guidance support that clears paths and opens doors
Increasing impact.
