Digital connectedness is a necessity for full participation in nearly every aspect of modern life. The Bridge Milwaukee Program is designed to remove barriers to digital inclusion for low income families. The workshop includes lessons in affordable home broadband access, access to devices, digital skills, and technical support. Program participants emerge better able to access educational and economic opportunities. 

Each workshop lasts two hours and can be customized to best suit the needs and skill level of program participants. Topics may range from basic computer skills - like word processing and keyboard familiarity – to resume building or navigating the internet and online safety for children. After training, participants receive a refurbished computer to take home, two hours of technical support and information about affordable broadband services to ensure they have the skills and devices necessary to engage long-term in our digital society.
