Learn Play Grow
Manteo is committed to giving back to the communities where we live and work. Through our Learn Play Grow initiative — a legacy of Data Outsource — we invest in the next generation.
Technology Should Empower Everyone
The Learn Play Grow initiative was founded by Data Outsource with a simple belief: every child deserves access to the tools, experiences, and opportunities they need to thrive. When Manteo acquired Data Outsource in 2024, we made a commitment to carry this mission forward — and to grow it.
As a technology company, we have a unique opportunity to bridge the digital divide — providing access to devices, skills, and mentorship that can change the trajectory of a young person's life. We take that responsibility seriously.
Through Learn Play Grow, Manteo and our team members invest time, resources, and expertise in community programs that help children learn, play, and grow into the leaders of tomorrow.
"We believe that technology is a great equalizer — and that every child, regardless of their background, deserves access to the tools and opportunities that technology provides."
Learn. Play. Grow.
