• Raise funds to purchase refurbished computers.
• Provide refurbished computers to students from under-resourced communities.
• Establish a mentoring and tutoring program to get the students up and running.
• Facilitate access to online resources, creating an awareness of the many learning opportunities available to students.
• Improve the students’ overall computer skills and develop their essential workplace skills.
• Reduce waste and recycle technology, thus reducing the technological waste-stream.
• Offer a solution to the Digital Divide in Canada. 

The Digital Divide - the polarization of society into two extreme groups: those with access to technology and those without access.

Most students in middle and high-school are assumed to have a computer in the home to finish their assignments. Without computers, homework doesn't get done and students may fall behind. Computers also give students and their families the capability to access the Internet. The Internet is a major learning resource and should be available to all.

Sky’s the Limit is providing the tools and nurturing the young minds of the leaders of tomorrow. Sky’s the Limit is achieving our mission to provide under-resourced students with the tools and resources they need to succeed in today’s competitive workforce.
