Bridging the Digital Divide

How give IT. get IT. Works

We understand that families without a personal computer – or the skills to use one – often have limited job marketability or unstable employment, which results in lower family incomes, and lower literacy rates. We help people realize their potential by helping them obtain regular personal computer access and the skills needed to become capable users and makers.

A computer is just a tool, the Internet is just a resource, knowing how to use them is the key

Through research and experience, we have learned that cost (buying and maintaining a computer) is only one factor that keeps people from having access to technology. Larger obstacles include fear and intimidation, along with a lack of low-cost or free, quality technical support. Additionally, many training options assume some prerequisite user skills, making it even more difficult for people who are just beginning their journey into tech, new employment, or education.

Most people think of the cost of a computer and Internet access as the barriers to Digital Inclusion. We think it is even more important to ensure people are able to make the right purchase decision based on their individual goals, as well as to have access to user training and free, high-quality ongoing support.
