About Us

Helping Colorado communities understand technology, artificial intelligence, and online information so they can safely participate in an increasingly digital world.

Why Access Forward Colorado Was Created

Technology is now part of school, work, healthcare, and everyday life. However, many families and communities are being asked to use tools they were never taught to understand.

Today the challenge is no longer access to devices, it is understanding how technology works, how information online can be trusted, and how artificial intelligence affects education and employment.

Access Forward Colorado was created to close that gap. We focus on practical education that helps people safely use technology, protect their personal information, and make informed decisions in a digital environment.

Our Founder

Access Forward Colorado was founded by Frederick Alfred Jr., a Colorado data scientist working in cybersecurity and analytics. Through his professional work and community involvement, he saw a growing gap between rapidly advancing technology and the public’s understanding of how to safely use it.

The organization was created to provide practical, non technical education so families, students, and local organizations can better understand artificial intelligence, online information, and digital safety. The goal is simple: communities should be prepared for the future, not surprised by it.

Empowering Through Technology

At Access Forward Colorado, we believe technology should create opportunity, not confusion or risk. Our goal is to give families, students, and community organizations the knowledge needed to confidently use digital tools, recognize misinformation, and understand how artificial intelligence is shaping the future workforce.

We work with schools, libraries, nonprofits, and community groups across Colorado including rural communities to provide education that is clear, practical, and accessible to all experience levels.
