We're excited to be working with Inspiredu to bring valuable digital literacy programs to your community! As we plan for the rest of 2025, we'd like to invite you to explore our programs and how they could benefit you and your family. Please review the programs below and click the orange "program survey" button above to take the survey.
We offer two tiers of programs:
Tier I: Learning Spark, Each household will receive one refurbished laptop upon completion of one of the following workshops.
Adult Digital Literacy Workshop: This workshop is designed for adults and covers fundamental computer skills. Participants are encouraged to continue their learning at home through online certifications, such as those offered by Microsoft. We also provide resources on free or low-cost internet options.
Family Learning Workshop: This workshop is aimed at parents/caregivers and children in grades PreK-12. It offers basic digital literacy skills and helps families navigate educational resources, as well as engage with their child’s education in a digital environment. Free or low-cost internet resources are also provided.
Tier II: Wellness, These workshops are for returning learners who have already completed Tier I, own their own laptop, and possess basic computer skills.
Telehealth: This workshop is conducted in partnership with the Georgia Hospital Association and its affiliates. Each session focuses on a different area of medicine, helping learners become more comfortable using telehealth resources on their laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. The classes are hybrid, allowing participants to join either in person or virtually.
Financial Literacy: These classes will be available starting in the spring and are led by financial planners, banks, credit unions, and other experts. The goal is to empower learners to create budgets, manage online accounts, protect their assets, learn to invest, and more—ultimately fostering financial wellness.
