Comcast and One Economy Launch Comcast Digital Connectors Program
Innovative New Program to Teach Springfield Youth Digital Literacy and Leadership Skills
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Comcast and One Economy today announced the kick off of a major technology learning and service initiative that teaches young people about broadband technologies and how to put that knowledge to work to serve the Springfield community. The program, Comcast Digital Connectors, will take place during after-school hours at the Urban League of Springfield as well as in 21 other locations across the United States.
In the Comcast Digital Connectors program, teams of high school students, who attend New Leadership Charter School in Springfield and come from diverse and low-income backgrounds, will gather at the Urban League three times a week after school throughout the year to learn digital literacy skills. The young people will then volunteer their time at community-based organizations, senior centers, churches and even in their own homes to help improve digital literacy. Additionally, they will be mentored by local Comcast employees, who will help develop leadership skills among the young people and lend expertise.
