ABOUT
Digital Equity is the condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy and economy.
Digital Navigators are trusted guides who assist community members in internet adoption and the use of computing devices. Digital navigators help demystify technology by providing one-on-one ongoing assistance to connect residents to affordable internet, devices, technical skills, and application support.
Digital Inclusion means the activities necessary to ensure that all individuals and communities, including the most disadvantaged, have access to and use of Information and Communication Technologies.
