They've approached the program with the zest of entrepreneurs, and it shows. They're not only training adults in digital skills at high rates (see our opening note above), BUT they're also spreading the word.?Our program lead is getting new leads weekly — sometimes daily.
Whether teaching smartphone basics, internet safety, or videoconferencing, teens are? powerful agents of change, bridging the Digital Divide one workshop at a time.
