Digital Equity Bus

# Digital Equity Bus Comes to Deming Library! Are you interested in a job that requires a level of computer skills you don’t yet have? Do you need to learn or improve digital literacy to better navigate life today?

**What is the Digital equity Bus?** The Digital Equity Bus (DEB) is a Wi-Fi equipped mobile classsroom that serves community members in rural locations and sovereign nations DEB offers digital services to community members who may have difficulty assessing one of Evergreen Goodwill's Job Training Centers.

**Digital Equity Bus Services** The Digital Equity BUs can provide a variety of services for community events including: * Free Wi-Fi * Charging stations * One time tech help * Connections to digital resources

The Digital Equity Bus brings computer classes, workforce development programs, and wraparound support services directly to people in rural communities where access to this kind of education is limited. Digital equity means ensuring that all individuals and communities have the necessary information and communication technology (ICT) capacity to fully participate in society, democracy, and the economy. This includes access to reliable, affordable internet, devices, and the digital literacy skills needed to effectively use them. It's about bridging the digital divide and ensuring that no one is left behind due to lack of access or ability to participate in the digital world.

The Evergreen Goodwill Digital Equity Buses feature SMART Board technology, WiFi access, adjustable desk seating for 8-10 people, and an accessibility ramp. From our mobile classrooms, we can offer 1:1 tech help, digital resources, like affordable internet plans, and employment readiness programs.
