​Introduction: What is Digital Inclusion? 
​with Teeniors founder, Trish Lopez (30 min + Q&A) | March 2023

Email for recording

Digital Inclusion means access to the internet, to devices like computers and cell phones, as well as the understanding of how to use them. It also means access to jobs, education, social connection, and community. Yet too many people still experience a massive lack of access because of their income, age, abilities, language/culture, or place of residence. This issue exists across the country. Trish shares a brief history of that divide, successes in closing the gap, and ways we can create space for those who want to be included in learning to navigate the online world.  Quick and easy to watch!
