Harlem Children's Zone Joins 'One Million Connected Devices Now' Movement to Bridge Digital Divide
The Council for Trade and Investment Promotion (CTIP) is proud to announce that the Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ) has joined the 'One Million Connected Devices Now' movement. This collaborative effort aims to bridge the digital divide and ensure that underserved communities have access to the digital resources they need to thrive in today's connected world.
Bridging the Digital Divide for Underserved Communities
In this digital age, access to technology and the internet is crucial for individuals and communities to fully participate in education, employment, and civic activities. Unfortunately, many underserved communities lack the necessary resources to keep up with the rapid pace of technological advancements.
Recognizing the importance of bridging this digital divide, the Harlem Children's Zone has partnered with CTIP and other organizations to provide access to connected devices, internet connectivity, and digital literacy training to individuals and families in need.
The 'One Million Connected Devices Now' Movement
The 'One Million Connected Devices Now' movement is a nationwide initiative that aims to connect one million individuals from underserved communities with the digital tools and resources they need. By providing access to connected devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones, as well as internet connectivity, the movement seeks to empower individuals and reduce the disparities created by the digital divide.
