Kramden Institute

✨ Mission Monday ✨

Starting the week with purpose, passion, and a reminder of why we do what we do. 💙

Every step forward brings us closer to the mission. This we're featuring one of our Program Coordinators, Mounir Nessim.

Let’s make this week count! 🙌

Kramden will be closed after noon on Friday, September 25th. Our normal business hours will resume on Monday, September 28th.

Experience firsthand the real-world impact of unequal access to technology. KC Digital Drive, in partnership with Kramden Institute, Band NC, and Digital Durham, invites you to an interactive Digital Divide Simulation. This hands-on event is designed to shed light on the daily challenges faced by those with limited tech access and help us collaboratively explore solutions.

Don't miss this chance to gain valuable insights and help us build a more inclusive digital society.

When: Tuesday, September 29, 1-4 p.m.
