Bridging the Digital Divide:
What Digital Access for All is About:
It's not surprising the term digital divide has entered more of our vocabularies in recent months. Due to a lack of economic resources, limited digital literacy, and low-quality internet service, many families struggle to adapt to the increasingly virtual plane we work and learn in. Our digital access program is here to assist.
The Digital Access for All is a new initiative of Integrated Community Services (ICS) and the Marin Center for Independent Living (Marin CIL) to expand digital access to people with disabilities, family members and caregivers by providing technology resources, digital literacy, and internet access in order to promote independence and self-sufficiency.
