Bridging the Digital Divide: Empowering Non-Internet Users with Digital Literacy

The digital divide in the U.S. affects many, particularly parents and individuals without broadband access. This project seeks to promote the importance of digital literacy skills and motivate non-users to take advantage of community resources and training, ultimately helping them connect with the digital world. Through engaging outreach methods, including interviews, workshops, and local collaborations, our goal is to provide insights and strategies to break down barriers to internet access and empower individuals with the skills they need to succeed online.
