Computer education is among the top goals on the State of New Jersey’s Digital Equity Plan, second only to affordable internet access:
“Goal 1: Everyone has access to affordable
highspeed internet in their home and
communities.*Goal 2: Ensure that every New Jerseyan has
the confidence and competence they need
to use computers and the internet to
achieve their goals.”
*to get help accessing the internet at home, ask us about applying for ACP (Affordable Connectivity Program), a federal digital equity initiative.
