Digital divide

It’s officially Digital Inclusion Week 2026! This week, we are proud to embrace the theme "Sustain, Empower, Evolve: Building a Brighter Digital Future." Digital Inclusion Week highlights the importance of ensuring everyone can participate in our increasingly digital society. Digital inclusion involves more than just access to devices or the internet; it encompasses having dependable technology, necessary digital skills, and confidence to explore online spaces safely and independently. As technology plays a vital role in education, communication, and daily life, having the right tools can create significant opportunities. This week serves as a reminder that with adequate resources and support, technology can foster greater independence, learning, connection, and opportunities for all. For Mrs. Davis, a recent attendee at an Inspiredu Family Learning Workshop, that opportunity significantly aids her son, who is autistic and gets extra support at school. Prior to receiving a laptop from Inspiredu, he had to use smaller tablets for his assignments at home because his mother’s work computer wasn’t accessible. After the Davis family attended the Inspiredu workshop, Mrs. Davis’s son now has his own laptop that he can use more easily for schoolwork. The laptop is a dependable tool that supports her son’s education and promotes greater independence in his learning. Mrs. Davis also acquired important skills from Inspiredu’s digital workshop, such as understanding applications better and exploring online safety tips. These skills are now helping her feel more confident in guiding her son as he develops his digital skills. Mrs. Davis’s story highlights the potential of digital inclusion. Often, significant change starts with something as straightforward as having the right device and knowing how to use it. For the Davis family, this access is opening more opportunities to learn and progress together.

At Inspiredu, our Digital Skills Volunteers help turn access into confidence. They support digital literacy training by working alongside Inspiredu trainers—answering questions and guiding participants—while helping to create a welcoming learning experience for Inspiredu learners at our Family Learning Workshops, Adult Digital Skills workshops, and Bridge to Technology workshops. For many volunteers, the work is personal. Some are inspired by seeing family members struggle with digital skills, while others are motivated to share their IT knowledge with learners in a positive, encouraging environment. Digital skills are essential for education, employment, healthcare, and everyday life. Thank you to our Digital Skills Volunteers for helping learners gain the confidence and skills needed to stay connected and move forward. Interested in supporting digital literacy in our community?

Inspiredu is proud to highlight our partnership with College AIM, an organization that provides college and financial aid exposure, counseling, and support to help Greater Atlanta students break down barriers to postsecondary success. Since 2022, Inspiredu has been honored to support College AIM students through laptop donations that expand access to technology and strengthen the connection between education, confidence, and future career opportunities. We are so appreciative of the Taco Bell Foundation for its generous support of this partnership, which directly funds access to technology and digital skills training for these students. This initiative aims to help youth across Atlanta acquire the essential tools to reach their goals and succeed in a connected world. As Jamesia Craig, Associate Director of College AIM, shared: “I truly believe the partnership between Inspiredu and College AIM propels opportunity, provides access, and paves the way for student success. This is an example of what happens when community-based organizations come together to nurture and invest in our communities. Since 2022, Inspiredu’s donation of laptops has equipped our students with more than technology, but with tools that connect them with access, confidence, and the ability to fully engage in their education and future careers!!” Together, partnerships like these help bridge the digital divide and create pathways for students to learn, grow, and succeed. @tacobellfoundation @collegeaimatl
