Education is key to developing productive, prosperous communities. That’s why Qwest supports pre-K through 12th grade students and teachers through reading and technology initiatives like Power Up to Read and Teachers & Technology grants. The Qwest Foundation has also partnered with community organizations, such as Boys and Girls Clubs, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Goodwill Industries. In addition, our 50,000 current and retired Qwest employees donate their time through programs like Project Connect
