View the inventory(PDF, 194KB)

The Digital Equity Coalition has compiled and published this inventory of local, regional, and national digital inclusion resources. Resource topics include devices, internet connectivity and affordability, digital skills training, digital navigation and train-the-trainer resources, organizational support, and more.  

Arlington County and Public Schools staff, members of the digital technology industry, and community-based partners can use the resource inventory to better understand available resources and share them with residents and business in need. Practitioners can also leverage the inventory to support organizational development and expansion of digital programming.

Do you know of additional resources to include or see an entry in the inventory that needs updating? Let us know by filling out this form.
