OUR THREE FOCUS AREAS
EDUCATION + EMPOWERMENT for daily use and integration: Digital literacy is a learned skill; starting with fundamentals like typing and integration into digital services like banking and communication, individuals may progress into more specialized skills that feed into workforce opportunities, like VR/AR, AI, coding, and more.
DIGITAL CONNECTIVITY: high speed and reliable access to internet must facilitate consistent access to streaming and daily functions.
HARDWARE ACCESS: laptops and desktop computers enable people to perform all required digital functions for life and work, including homework, job applications, and specialized skills like coding.
