The RDI EquITy™  Initiative

Inspired by the work of California Department of Education’s Bridging the Digital Divide program, we have built into our mission: The EquITy™  Initiative.  For every 3 parent groups that receive ArdeeCareservices, we will provide a FREE service to a qualifying Title 1 school. EVERY PTA/PTO deserves the opportunity to improve their operations and maximize their community engagement…and our hope is to make this available to deserving schools.
