Empowering lives through technology and innovation.
SPLiT (Strategically Positioning Lives in Technology) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit closing educational gaps in underserved communities through digital technology programming.
Our Story
From a campus idea to a global mission.
SPLiT was founded at Howard University by Dominique Da'Cruz on a simple conviction: access to technology should never depend on where you were born or where you live.
Today, headquartered in Detroit, SPLiT has delivered programming across Washington DC, New York and New Jersey, and Michigan, and internationally through U.S. Embassy partnerships in Africa.
Technology is our anchor in every program. The sectors we serve change with each community: agriculture, small business, education, and workforce development. And our work is not limited by geography. We are expanding across borders around the world.
Our Mission
To bridge the digital divide by introducing youth and adults to current digital technology methods and practices, with a focus on communities that lack access to STEAM education resources.
Our Vision
A world where technology strategically positions every life for opportunity, in every sector and across every border.
"Igniting potential through technology. Empowering minds for a brighter future."
How We Work
Technology is the anchor. Community is the compass.
We believe in immersive experiences. Every program pairs technical expertise with ethics, critical thinking, and deep community engagement, learned by doing.
🧭
Human-Centered
We design for people first. Programs are immersive by design, built around real needs identified with the communities we serve.
⚖️
Responsible Innovation
Technical skills are taught alongside ethical considerations, so participants innovate responsibly.
🌱
Built to Last
We create supportive communities of practice, so learning continues long after the training ends.
