Portland, OR, Multimedia Instructor, Independent Contractor

About Everyone On

EveryoneOn envisions a society where every individual has equal access to technology—expanding their potential and creating a more connected and thriving world.

The internet is the fundamental building block of our digital society and economy, yet over 18M households, disproportionately from under-resourced communities of color, have been priced out and cut off from the most important communications platform and economic engine of our time.

We are a national nonprofit dedicated to creating a world where digital access ignites potential and fosters inclusivity. Since 2012, we've connected over 1 million people to reliable high-speed internet, distributed over 10,000 devices, and trained more than 4,000 participants in digital skills. We design high-impact, community-centered programs replicated nationwide through strategic partnerships with government, corporations and nonprofits.

Our holistic approach to digital inclusion focuses on connecting under-resourced individuals to affordable internet and computers, providing digital skills trainings to individuals and organizations, and advancing fair and just policies. We partner with community-based organizations in digitally excluded neighborhoods, primarily serving Black/African American, Latino/x and Tribal communities to equip individuals with the tools to unleash their power, creating a ripple effect of positive change throughout their neighborhoods.

EveryoneOn's impact is transformative. In just 4-6 weeks, participants learn how to apply for jobs, help their kids with homework, access healthcare, and rally for themselves and their neighbors.

Won’t you join us in unleashing the power of connectivity for all people?

Everyone On works primarily in under-resourced communities of color, particularly Black/African-American and Latino/x communities. We are seeking candidates with lived experience, and those who are culturally competent with communities we serve.
