Celebrate National Digital Inclusion Week
This Digital Inclusion Week, October 6-10, we're celebrating the heart of our work: the powerful partnerships and community-driven efforts that are bridging the digital divide across Colorado. It’s been a challenging year, but the strength and resilience of our communities have provided us with renewed hope. Together, we are building a stronger, more connected Colorado. Throughout the week, we will highlight these incredible collaborations and the real impact they are having on communities.
