[NFBC-Info] Fwd: Register to Join the August 27 Digital Equity Community of Practice

Sun Aug 23 05:17:07 UTC 2026

 Email from California Department of Technology

Hello everyone,

I am forwarding this California Department of Technology opportunity
because digital navigation, affordable broadband, technology training, and
digital inclusion resources are directly relevant to blind Californians.

The August 27 Community of Practice may be useful for blind people who
teach technology, chapter leaders, and organizations interested in
accessible digital inclusion. I cannot personally attend every training or
follow every resource, so I would love for interested members to take a
look.

If you attend, review the free resources, or identify something that could
benefit blind Californians, a local chapter, or NFBC statewide, please
reply to this email. I can connect you with the NFBC Grants Committee so we
can explore whether there is a useful resource, partnership, or future
funding opportunity.

Laura

Reminder: Sign Up for Free Digital Inclusion Resources!

As we’ve shared at the last Community of Practice, CDT has partnered with
seven nonprofit organizations to provide free digital inclusion tools,
services, and training to community-based organizations across the state.

These offerings are intended to support local and tribal governments,
libraries, schools, non-profits, and others conducting digital inclusion
activities and providing services to residents. This includes digital
inclusion program management training and digital navigation training for
staff, access to digital literacy assessment and skills training platforms,
and Artificial Intelligence training, all designed to promote digital
inclusion.

We encourage organizations with staff capacity and readiness to take action
to complete the Digital Tools and Resources Sign-Up Form
