Digital Literacy Community Engagement Grants
Digital Literacy Community Engagement Grants help Digital Navigators design and lead meaningful digital literacy experiences for students, families, and community members using trusted resources and local leadership.
Through the grant program, Digital Navigators will work with schools, districts, libraries, and community partners to create programming that helps families navigate todayโs digital world safely, responsibly, and confidently.
Projects will primarily use AT&T ScreenReady resources and may also incorporate All4Edโs ready-to-use Digital Literacy Workshops.
The goal is not simply to distribute resources. It is to create meaningful learning experiences where families can engage with trusted information, ask questions, build practical skills, and leave with resources they can continue to use at home.
