Securing Our Future

 

Through Optiv Chips In, we’re helping our communities reach their full potential. From providing meals to those in need to supplying refurbished computers that advance learning for tomorrow’s cyber leaders, we are making an enduring impact.

 

Core to these efforts is our belief that empowering the next generation doesn’t begin with technology. We support the whole student and are committed to meeting their most basic needs first so they can see themselves in cyber.

Impact That Matters

Giving Tuesday received a whole week of attention
when Optiv staged its first-ever Volunteer Week.
The focus of our efforts: food insecurity.

Providing meals to families in need as a way of helping tomorrow’s cyber leaders is rooted in an understanding that students who show up to school hungry have a harder time learning. Research has found that hunger affects student energy levels, concentration and memory, academic achievement and behavior.

“We wanted to make sure we were supporting the whole student. More than
 giving them tools, we recognized a gap that our people could help narrow.”
