About JumpLite Tech

JumpLite Tech is a 501(c)(3) California nonprofit on a mission to bridge the digital divide — bringing AI literacy, cybersecurity workshops, and a free resume builder to seniors, youth, and underserved communities across Los Angeles, Santa Clarita, and Southern California.

Who Founded Us — & Why

JumpLite Tech was founded in 2023 by technologists and educators who kept seeing the same problem: technology was advancing faster than ever, yet entire communities were being left behind. Seniors struggled with new scams and unfamiliar apps. Students lacked access to STEM opportunities. Job seekers were filtered out by automated systems they didn't know existed.

Our founders believed that access to technology — and the confidence to use it — should never depend on age, income, or background. JumpLite Tech began as a handful of free community workshops and has grown into a nonprofit dedicated to making the digital world safer, fairer, and more understandable for everyone.

Our Mission

We exist to empower every generation through technology. That means teaching AI literacy in plain language, running hands-on cybersecurity workshops that help people spot modern scams, inspiring kids with STEM, and giving job seekers a free, fair shot with our resume builder. Everything we offer is free and built around one belief: no one should be left behind as the world changes around them.
