The "
digital literacy corps" is an initiative to increase digital inclusion, reduce the
digital divide, and to increase
broadband adoption via the use of teams of volunteers to work with population groups that have lower broadband adoption rates, teaching them "digital literacy."
In 2003,
Net Literacy's team of student volunteers created a digital literacy corps that helped teach senior citizens, the disabled, and families with lower
incomes, among others, how to use a computer and the Internet and identify their own personal
broadband value propositon to help increase broadband adoption rates.
