The ninth cohort of Digital Inclusion Fellows tackled the digital divide with innovative solutions tailored to their communities’ unique needs. From supporting incarcerated women with employment-focused tech education to designing bilingual initiatives for seniors, their projects empowered individuals often overlooked in digital equity efforts.
These fellows demonstrated the power of community-driven leadership by meeting people where they were and addressing barriers to access, skills, and confidence. Whether launching mobile computer labs, creating multilingual resources, or developing curriculum for refugees, their work emphasized inclusion and collaboration. Fellows engaged partners, recruited volunteers, and built programs that reflected the cultural and practical realities of those they served.
Together, this year’s fellows bridged gaps and opened doors, proving that digital inclusion is about more than technology—it’s about connection, opportunity, and belonging. Their achievements set a powerful example for what’s possible when empathy and innovation lead the way.
