Surviving and thriving in today's society requires virtual connection. A phone, tablet, or laptop is essential for completing schoolwork, applying for jobs, staying in touch with friends and family, and accessing vital online services like healthcare. While essential, these devices are often out of reach for many. PowerOn is dedicated to providing the LGBTQ+ community with the technology it needs to survive and thrive.
