Impact Focus: Celebrating Hispanic Heritage During Digital Inclusion Week

On October 8, we partnered with the Latin American Association to celebrate both Hispanic Heritage Month and Digital Inclusion Week with a specialized training workshop. The event aimed to promote digital equity within Spanish-speaking communities and attracted a diverse group of participants, including families from Guatemala, Mexico, and other Latin American countries. All 27 participants received a laptop, hands-on digital training, and resources like information about low-cost Xfinity Internet Essentials and the Inspiredu help desk.

Building Digital Equity in Multilingual Communities 

Today, access to technology and digital resources is essential for education, employment, and community engagement. Yet while digital equity initiatives aim to ensure everyone has the same opportunities, marginalized multilingual communities such as immigrants and refugees face an additional barrier: language. In Georgia, this prevents thousands of non-English speakers from full participation in the digital landscape.
