The Office of Digital Equity ensures that every resident — regardless of age, income, or background — has access to the technology, skills, and resources needed to succeed in today’s digital world. Our programs empower communities by providing hands-on learning opportunities, professional instruction, and ongoing support to help residents progress from basic computer knowledge to advanced digital skills.
"Access to reliable internet, devices, and digital skills isn’t about technology for technology’s sake. It’s about helping people apply for jobs, connect to healthcare, support their families, and stay engaged with their community. Our goal is simple: we need to make sure that every neighborhood and resident has the tools to navigate today's world, and that world is digital. I'm proud that our City is leading that effort and honored to be recognized as a trailblazer in that effort."
— Mayor Pro Tem Ryana Parks-Shaw
