Hi, I’m Roxanne, President of Urban Ed. I’m raising funds to support our Emergency Bridge Support Fund to keep Urban Ed's classes running and protect opportunity for the students and families we serve as they work toward economic stability.
Emergency Bridge Support Fund
Protect Opportunity for Our Students & Their Families
Help Us Keep Classes Running Without Interruption
Urban Ed has served more than 7,500 individuals over the past 25 years — helping young adults, parents, children, youth, and families build tech skills, careers, and long-term stability.
Urban Ed is facing a temporary delay in receiving committed funds from a December fundraising partner. To ensure our students — many of whom are the first in their families to pursue skilled trades, cannot afford college, and are working to stabilize their households and avoid housing and food insecurity — remain in class and on track, we are raising critical funds to keep our programs running without interruption.
Your support keeps classes running, protects student opportunity, and ensures uninterrupted instruction through early spring.

Why This Matters Now
Urban Ed’s students are striving to enter the tech sector to secure living wage employment, stabilize their families, and avoid housing or food insecurity. Even the smallest disruption in their training can set them back. This bridge support ensures they stay on track and protects the opportunity our students have worked so hard to earn.

What’s at Stake
When a student loses access to instruction, labs, mentorship, or structure — even briefly — they risk:
• losing income stability
• falling behind in technical training
• increased housing or food insecurity
• losing motivation
• losing the structure and support Urban Ed provides
For many, Urban Ed represents their opportunity to break cycles of instability, gain in demand tech skills, and lift their families into a more secure future.
One student → one stabilized household → one stronger community.
Your support keeps this pathway open.
