Digital Bridges
This program distributes laptops and hot spots to students and young adults across Southern Dallas to enable them to access education, further their learning and stay connected in the classroom and beyond. Through our partnership with Compudopt, the laptops come with two years of warranty and bilingual technical assistance.
Tens of thousands of households in Southern Dallas lack broadband service. Digital Bridges seeks to improve access to digital technology so more North Texans—especially people of color—are equipped to succeed in school, find and keep good-paying jobs, and access the health resources they need to thrive.
