Help bridge the digital divide  the gap between those who can access the digital world and those who cannot.

Digital inclusion efforts are essential as it becomes increasingly hard to access education, healthcare, or employment opportunities without access to a computer or the internet. This became especially clear during the COVID-19 pandemic when schools and many workplaces went remote. Students who did not have computers or broadband internet at home were at a significant disadvantage.

Join the Federation's Community Relations Committee as we support PCs for People through a computer equipment drive that will allow us to bridge the digital divide.
