Bridging the Digital Divide

As part of its national commitment to help bridge the digital divide, AT&T worked with Human-I-T to provide local organizations with a total of 325 laptops. The computers, courtesy of a donation from AT&T, were given to local students and families in need to help them participate in online learning and the digital world. The computer distribution kicked off AT&T’s participation and sponsorship of NBA All-Star week with NBA Legend and former Utah Jazz player, Boris Diaw, onsite to help distribute computers to recipient families.

Promise South Salt Lake along with Latinos in Action, Salt Lake Education Foundation, and Neighborhood House helped facilitate the distribution of computers to students and families. Providing students and families with computers will allow them to gain the access needed to thrive in this modern world. From completing homework to filling out job applications, they are connected to a greater possibility.
