From the Bronx to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island, residents in all five boroughs of the City are staying connected at AT&T Connected Learning Centers (CLCs).
As of October 2025, AT&T has launched 13 CLCs across the state, with at least one in every New York City borough.
AT&T CLCs offer a variety of digital resources, internet connectivity, and up-to-date technology. They also provide educational resources such as The AchieverySM, a free digital learning platform by AT&T, and free digital literacy courses in partnership with the Public Library Association. Tutoring and mentoring are also provided by community leaders.
Here’s a closer look into how we’re helping to close the digital divide in New York City and beyond.
QUEENS and STATEN ISLAND
This summer, we launched two new CLCs in Queens and Staten Island.
- In July 2025, we opened a new CLC in Queens at the Jamaica YMCA – expanding our mission to help bridge the digital divide across every borough.
- Through a $50,000 contribution to the YMCA of Greater New York, students and families are growing their technological skills needed to thrive in our digital world.
- AT&T has worked closely with the YMCA of Greater New York for many years, providing grant funding for various programs.
- In August 2025, a new CLC opened in Staten Island at the Stapleton House, to help provide internet access, digital resources, and high-quality educational tools to residents who face barriers to internet connectivity. This project was in collaboration with the New York City Computer Lab Initiative.
“In Southeast Queens, we know that access to technology is access to opportunity. This new Connected Learning Center at the Jamaica YMCA is more than a resource, it’s a bridge for our families, students, and job seekers to thrive in a digital world,” said Council Member Williams. “I want to thank AT&T for their investment in our community, and for recognizing that closing the digital divide requires real partnerships and long-term commitment. I’m proud to support initiatives like this that uplift our district and reinforce our commitment to expanding STEAM education and digital equity for every generation.”
THE BRONX
Last November, we launched our first Bronx CLC, at the Edenwald Houses.
- This project was made possible through a collaboration with the New York City Computer Lab Initiative and AT&T and in conjunction with the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), Camber Property Group and its Permanent Affordability Commitment Together (PACT) partner team, as well as the Edenwald Houses Tenant Association.
- Through a $30,000 contribution to the New York City Computer Lab Initiative from AT&T and a $15,000 Safe in the City Grant from DYCD, the CLC provides educational tools and programming to residents of the Edenwald houses and the surrounding community who encounter barriers to online participation.
“On behalf of our 5,000 residents, we are grateful to be selected as the site for the latest AT&T CLC. Edenwald is the largest NYCHA development in the Bronx, and having an on-site computer lab will add to the positive transformation happening right now, as we renovate 2,035 apartments and common areas in over 40 buildings through the PACT program,” said Edenwald Houses Tenant Association President Walter J. McNeil.
In February 2025, we launched our second Bronx CLC, at the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club.
- This new CLC was created to provide internet access and high-quality educational tools, modern technology, and programming to Kips Bay members.
- The CLC at Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club was made possible through a $50,000 contribution from AT&T.
“At Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, we are committed to ensuring every child has the resources and opportunities necessary to succeed, so we are honored to partner with AT&T to bring its newest Connected Learning Center to life here in the Bronx,” said Daniel Quintero, Executive Director, Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. “We look forward to the impact this center will have on our youth, helping to not only bridge the digital divide, but also unlock their full potential.”
BROOKLYN
AT&T opened its first CLC in Brooklyn, at The Joseph Miccio Cornerstone Community Center.
- The CLC is operated by Good Shepard Services, one of the largest nonprofit youth and family services providers in New York City.
- A week later, we also launched a new CLC in Schenectady at Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region to equip K-5 grade girls in the after-school program with state-of-the-art technology.
“Expanding access to broadband, educational tools, and technical programming are critical to bridging the digital divide and ensuring that young people have the resources they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world. We thank AT&T for their generous donation and partnership in opening this vital Connecting Learning Center, which will encourage youth in the Red Hook community to explore how critical technology is to their future,” said Michelle Yanche, CEO of Good Shepherd Services. “As we open the doors to this Center, we do so with a clear commitment to supporting the next generation of learners and leaders for years to come.”
MANHATTAN
AT&T collaborated with Silicon Harlem to open a CLC at their Harlem headquarters.
- The CLC offers access to 25 desktop computers, 25 laptops, and tablets.
- Silicon Harlem is a leading tech ecosystem and innovation hub based in Harlem. With a mission to close the digital divide, Silicon Harlem isrevolutionizing the technology landscape, fostering entrepreneurship, and empowering communities.
- AT&T initially launched the lab with a $50,000 contribution. Last year, we provided an additional $20,000 to Silicon Harlem to further modernize and boost their technology.
“At Silicon Harlem, we believe that access to technology and the internet is a fundamental right. This generous contribution from AT&T will enable us to enhance our digital learning resources, ensuring that the Harlem community can fully participate in the digital world,” said Clayton Banks, CEO of Silicon Harlem. “Together, we are closing the digital divide and ensuring every home is a connected future for all.”
What else?
Along with the six CLCs throughout New York City’s boroughs, AT&T has six additional CLCs across New York state, including:
- Buffalo Urban League, in Buffalo
- Youth Shelter of Westchester, in Mount Vernon
- Cameron Community Center, in Rochester
- Girls Inc. of the Greater Capital Region, in Schenectady
- Boys & Girls Club of Greater Capital Area, in Troy
- Urban League of Westchester County, in White Plains
- United Way of Long Island, in Deer Park
Our New York CLC effort is part of AT&T’s nationwide initiative to help address the digital divide through internet accessibility, affordability and safe adoption. AT&T committed $5 billion to help 25 million people get and stay connected to high-speed internet by 2030.
AT&T opens these centers within local nonprofit organizations that are already adept at supporting underserved populations within their community, including some of our nation’s most vulnerable students and families. We plan to offer at least 100 locations by the end of 2027.
We are proud of our efforts to help bridge the digital divide in New York City and across the state. But, there is still more work to be done. Look out for another AT&T CLC launch in Albany in the coming months!
