Our Mission

The Milton Lumbergh Association is committed to transforming the landscape of technology education by establishing a sustainable and inclusive environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can thrive. Our mission goes beyond traditional learning; we aim to create a dynamic, multilingual office simulation that operates around the clock, offering hands-on training in tech support and facility management. Through this innovative approach, we empower participants to acquire essential technical skills and foster a spirit of community engagement.

By building or converting existing structures into eco-friendly, resource-efficient centers of learning, we strive to bridge the digital divide for low-income individuals. Our goal is to provide a platform for growth and collaboration, enabling participants to navigate and excel in a rapidly evolving, technology-driven world. Together, we are building a future where access to technology and education is universal and transformative.
