Minority Information Outreach is a Portland-based organization that provides underprivileged youth in the Portland Public School District, specifically Roosevelt High School, with computers in order to continue classroom teachings at home. This grant will provide 2,500 computers to low-income students in the Portland Public School District, significantly impacting their lives and education.
RahMiel Mitchell, MIO founder, “established Minority Information Outreach with a vision to deliver needed computers to Portland’s low-income families, enabling them to connect to their community and the resources they need to improve their lives and their futures.” He is excited for this opportunity from Pepsi to allow this vision to become a reality for 2,500 more students and the chance to further this growth of our youth.
The Pepsi Refresh Project is giving 10 - $5,000 grants, 10 - $25,000 grants, 10 - $50,000 grants and 2 -$250,000 grants to great ideas, all that fall into the categories of health & fitness, arts & culture, food & shelter, the planet, neighborhoods and education.

About Minority Outreach Information:
Minority Information Outreach (MIO) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide eco-friendly computer implementation to low-income families in the Portland Public School district. Technology resources don’t reach into many homes where they’re most needed. Many families do not have the money to own a home computer. The result is a disparity between student learning in the academic environment and furthering the student’s progress at home. We also receive refurbish computers and recycle them back into our neighborhood community to decrease our electronic waste in our landfills.
