Our Partnership with ACLT
Our Partnership with ACLT
In January 2025, Americans 4 Equality began a strategic partnership with Africatown Community Land Trust (ACLT), an organization dedicated to empowering the unhoused and underserved community in Greater Seattle. ACLT’s vision focuses on creating vibrant and thriving communities by supporting those most impacted by barriers.
In May, we proudly launched the first cohort of Warp 5 at ACLT’s BENU Community Home. This month-long technology and artificial intelligence training program served over 50 members and staff. The collaboration united ACLT’s mission of empowerment with our expertise in future-ready education—creating a platform where participants gained digital skills to strengthen career pathways, pursue new opportunities, and improve quality of life.
We are continuing this partnership through Warp 7 Tech Learning at BENU, expanding on our success with ACLT by delivering hands-on, career-focused technical training that empowers community members to move from learning to leadership in the digital economy.
