A new donation from Frontier has provided the Best Buy Teen Tech Center at The Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club in Los Angeles County with high-speed fiber internet.
The Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club (AVBGC), located in Lancaster, California, is described as a place where teens can develop critical skills and explore interests in music production, programming, film-making, and graphic design, according to the club’s website.
The teen tech centers are part of the Community Impact Hub, which is a collaboration between The Annenberg Foundation and the Greater LA Education Foundation.
Best Buy has previously committed millions of dollars to the initiative, which has led to the creation of a dozen Best Buy Teen Tech Center locations throughout the Los Angeles area.
According to Frontier’s recent announcement, the firm decided to support the Best Buy Teen Tech Center at AVBGC due to the center’s work with inspiring a new generation of video editors, photographers, 3-D designers, audio engineers.
“Partners like Frontier are instrumental in our mission to inspire young people through technology and support youth as they pursue their dreams — now and in the future,” said Olivia Jefferson, a vice president of Best Buy’s social impact division.
Sally Altobelli, the co-executive director of the Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club, said Frontier’s high-speed internet donation represents more than just connectivity.
“It’s a lifeline for kids who might not have it at home,” Altobelli said. “With the power of high-speed internet, we’re unlocking doors to endless learning opportunities, enabling our kids to dive into educational resources, engage in hands-on learning experiences and connect with a global community of learners.”
Frontier Chief Communications Officer Erin Kurtz said Frontier is proud to support the Antelope Valley location.
“This space enables young people to dive into the latest technology, expand their skills and unlock new opportunities—all supported by a connection they can count on,” Kurtz said.
