Warrensburg Broadband & Digital Literacy Hub
Warrensburg, NY
About This Project
Digital access remains a barrier for many Warrensburg residents, especially seniors and lower-income families. This hub will provide free, reliable WiFi and public computer access at a central location (library or community center). Free digital literacy classes will teach email basics, job searching, online safety, video calling, and government services. Tech instructors will provide one-on-one support.
Why It Matters
Digital inequality leaves people unable to access jobs, government services, healthcare, and education. Seniors and low-income households often lack devices or internet access. A digital hub with free WiFi and trained support ensures everyone can participate in our increasingly digital world.
Expected Impact
- 300+ residents with free internet access and safe computer use space
- 100 seniors trained in email, video calling, and online government services
- 50+ people successfully applying for jobs using our computers
- Reduced digital divide and increased access to health/education resources
- Community tech training center establishing lasting digital skills
