We are living in a moment of rapid change — in technology, in policy, and in the ways people access critical services. More government programs, social services, and community resources are moving online, and keeping up can feel overwhelming. The team at digitalLIFT knows that no single organization can meet this moment alone. That’s why we’re eager to partner with others (organizations, volunteers, and community leaders) to ensure that everyone has the skills, confidence, and support to thrive in a rapidly changing digital world.
In this context, digital skills are not just tools for convenience — they are essential for participation, safety, and empowerment. We see this as a pivotal time in history: a time when individuals can recognize their power, advocate for themselves, and make their voices heard.
To help communities navigate this changing landscape, we are piloting a range of projects:
- Civic Engagement Support
Teaching learners how to email and communicate with their representatives to connect with decision-makers, and collaborating with organizations to bring voter education resources directly to learners.- We’d love to hear: do you have resources that help people connect with their representatives or understand the political process?
- Could adding digital skill-building strengthen civic engagement efforts in your community?
- What might a partnership look like to ensure more people can make their voices heard?
- Immigrant Community Support
Offering online training for learners who may feel unsafe attending in person, creating workshops that highlight legal rights and trusted community resources, and using technology to make sure everyone can access critical information safely and confidently.- Is your organization already serving immigrant communities who need safer access to information and services?
- Could digital literacy training enhance the programs you’re already leading?
- How might we work together to ensure these communities feel supported and empowered?
- Community Storytelling
Highlighting real-life examples of learners navigating challenges, avoiding scams, and advocating for themselves, then sharing those stories to raise awareness, inspire action, and strengthen community resources.- Do you have stories from your work that deserve a wider audience?
- Would you like to collaborate on ways to highlight the resilience of the people we serve?
- How can we amplify the voices of learners and communities together?

Together, we can equip individuals with the skills and confidence to navigate this changing world, protect themselves, and use their voices to shape the policies and services that affect their lives.
