Getting Connected Is Our Key To Success
The “three-legged stool of Digital Inclusion” consists of Connectivity (internet access), Devices (access to digital devices), and Digital Skills (digital literacy). Here at the CARDBoard Project, we’ve taken those three legs and use them to guide our programs and initiatives.
We recognize the importance of internet access, and we aim to help connect our guests to low-cost internet. We are in collaboration with PCs for People to provide our guests with a mobile hotspot at a low cost on a monthly basis. Additionally, we are working to let our guests know that they might be eligible for the FCC’s Emergency Broadband Benefit.
