Digital Inclusion

Our Mission

The Digital Inclusion Program, in partnership with the California Department of Aging, strives to mitigate loneliness and isolation among older adults by providing them with greater access to technology, training, and resources to bridge the digital divide.

Who We Serve

The Digital Inclusion Team is a multilingual group offering technology and training programs to assist older adults ages 60 or older to utilize technology to mitigate loneliness. Each program has unique eligibility requirements, please see program-specific details.

Our Digital Inclusion Coordinators are available to answer your questions in English, Vietnamese, and Spanish, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. at (669) 699-2245.
