Vance Family Connect Digital Literacy Academy
Students who face challenges accessing essential digital devices at home are at a disadvantage for academic achievement compared to peers with access. Students who attended the Academy received a newly refurbished laptop computer, a mobile hotspot, and participated in digital literacy training alongside a parent/guardian. Sessions included Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools Learning and Family Engagement Resources, Online Financial Empowerment, and Navigating University City Community Resources. Presenting partners included VHS faculty, Woodforest Bank, and University City Connect.
University City Regional Library attended to share essential community resources with Vance High School students and their families to build a brighter future and demonstrate the power of community.
E2D, Inc. (Eliminate the Digital Divide) obtains laptop donations from generous corporations and refurbishes them to distribute to students, helps source low-cost access to broadband solutions, and provides digital literacy training to families. E2D is also committed to exposing workforce development opportunities and IT skill training to CMS youth.
University City Partners invests resources in shaping public spaces and planning for a better-built environment that influences the way our community lives, works, plays, and learns. University City Partners also invites others to invest in the University City community to build relationships and build a better community.
