Back to school season is an exciting but busy time. From school supplies, summer work, new schedules, and more—the season it not without its challenges! That’s why Verizon was onsite at the Houston Mayor’s Back to School Event, which provided new students with the resources they need to get their year off to a great start! The event featured supplies for kids, health screenings, and everything students need—including internet.

Verizon understands that in order to thrive in the digital age, students need high quality internet connectivity. V-teamers were on the ground, sharing information about the Affordable Connectivity Program, which gives qualifying applicants Verizon’s services for free or a reduced cost! Check out the video below to get a glimpse into this incredible event and learn more about how the Affordable Connectivity program is powering students in Houston, and throughout the country!
