PowerOn Lab

Empowering Through Technology

The Yale LGBTQ Center hosts the PowerOn Lab, proudly sponsored by a generous technology grant from PowerOn. Power On is a nonprofit organization that believes that digital rights are human rights. Their mission is to help bridge the digital gap in the LGBTQ community by providing essential technology resources, enhancing internet access, and facilitating connection to vital information and advocacy efforts. Here at the lab, we are committed to empowering the Yale LGBTQ community to transform their lives at the university through the effective use of technology.
