Going beyond what others say is possible
Welcome to Beyond Boundaries Computer Training!
Our Vision
True success is measured by the positive change you create and the leaders you help develop. Every adult we serve becomes a catalyst for change in their family and their community. We aspire to a South Suburban Cook County where every adult has digital literacy skills, access to devices, and technology support to manage their family, life, and future.
Every member of our board grew up in southern Cook County. We came of age in its neighborhoods, attended its schools, and built our careers from its foundations. We know firsthand how strong mentorship and access to the right resources can transform potential into success, and we know just as well what it costs when those resources are out of reach.
Today, our board brings together decades of combined experience across technology, finance, marketing, nonprofit leadership, and community development, all rooted in a shared commitment to the region we call home.
