Happy Juneteenth from Computer CORE! Wishing our students, volunteers, staff, and supporters a meaningful Juneteenth.
Today we honor Juneteenth, a U.S. holiday that commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Texas learned they were free—more than two years after slavery had officially been abolished. Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom, resilience, and opportunity. It also reminds us of the importance of access to information, since unequal access to information was one of many factors that limited opportunity and delayed freedom. At Computer CORE, we believe that access to technology, digital skills, and reliable information remains essential to full participation in society. As we commemorate Juneteenth, we reaffirm our commitment to helping ensure that everyone has the tools, knowledge, and connectivity needed to learn, work, and thrive.

The inaugural COREcelerate certification luncheon was held at Morton's Steakhouse in Arlington, generously sponsored by Steve Cooper and Exelaration: https://exelaration.org/ This event celebrated our September 2025 cohort, 15 of whom (so far) received industry recognized certifications including CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Tech+, Google IT Support, Google Project Management and more. We were joined by COREcelerate volunteers, CORE staff, CORE and Exelaration Board Members, and our newest COREcelerate recruits.

Every dollar helps Computer CORE provide free digital skills classes, one-on-one support, and refurbished computers—so adults can access jobs, services, and opportunities that increasingly require technology.
