Our Bridging Digital Divides program is dedicated to fostering digital equity in Boulder County by providing underserved families and individuals with essential digital resources they might not otherwise have access to. Through this initiative, we empower our community with the tools and skills needed to navigate today’s digital world with confidence. We partner with other nonprofits, companies, and governmental organizations to:
- provide affordable technology to low-income households,
- teach basic computer skills to individuals who need them, and
- work to create a sustainable, community-driven movement toward digital equity.
Course Details
Our introductory digital literacy course consists of eight, two-hour classes that meet in-person once per week for eight weeks. Classes are offered each Spring and Fall in Lafayette, Boulder, and Longmont. They are taught in both English and Spanish, but language varies per session, so be sure to confirm the language of your session before registering. Childcare and dinner are included.
The cost of the class is $80, payable in installments of $10 per week. Participants with perfect attendance get to keep their Chromebook device ($180 value) at the end of the course.
