Digital Equity through Community
Connecting generations through workshops that build digital confidence, share knowledge, and create lasting community.
We are the bridge for the digital divide.
The Inspiration
We aim to create a space of community and co-creation, where learning digital skills feels welcoming and supportive. We want to foster communities that have equitable access and confidence in the digital space.

→ Older seniors who live alone are especially vulnerable to scammers who prey on their isolation.
The Work
While our vision spans all ages, we are currently prioritizing the older adults in the Greater Victoria area to address a significant skills gap.

→ Online fraud, totalling more than $470-million in losses. About 27% of that dollar figure came from victims older than 60.
The Vision
Our long-term vision is to foster a community that takes care of each other in the digital ecosystem. In doing so, we empower folks of every generation to thrive in a rapidly evolving, technological world. It’s more than nonprofit, it’s a movement to bridging the digital divide together.
→ While 67% of seniors surf the internet regularly, only 26% feel very confident using computers and smartphones.
