A step closer to closing the digital divide in Milwaukee: Education grants provide free laptops
“Milwaukee is now one step closer to closing the digital divide. The COVID-19 pandemic shined a light on the digital equity challenges we face as a nation. One of those is having reliable access to internet service.
Tuesday, May 10, the YWCA Southeast Wisconsin continued to aid in the efforts to remove barriers to digital inclusion. Whether it’s working remote or virtually learning, people in Milwaukee need broadband access.
Spectrum, the YWCA Southeast Wisconsin and Digital Bridge of Milwaukee presented two digital education grants totaling a whopping $40,000. The money goes toward removing barriers to digital inclusion by providing devices to those in need.”
