About Byte Back

Our Mission

Byte Back’s mission is to close the digital divide by providing under-resourced communities an equitable pathway into the digital economy. We achieve this through transformative digital advocacy, digital literacy, and tech certification training.

Since 1997, Byte Back has served thousands of adults, helping graduates gain valuable tech skills, launch successful careers, and become part of the growing digital economy.

“Byte Back is doing the crucial work of providing more residents a fair shot through training, training Washingtonians from underrepresented communities for DC-sustaining careers in tech and by working with more than 500 adult learners each year. They are helping us continue to be the capital of inclusive innovation.”

— DC Mayor Muriel Bowser
