| Introduction | One Economy’s Digital Connectors program identifies talented young people, immerses them in technology training, and helps them build their leadership and workplace skills to enter the 21st century economy. Digital Connectors are also motivated by community service. Last year alone, youth, ages 14- 21, registered over 10,000 hours in service learning hours to promote One Economy’s public purpose media, develop innovative online content to speak to their unique needs, refurbish computer hardware for distribution to their neighbors, and train their local communities on the power of the Internet. |
| Interests | One Economy Corporation is a global nonprofit organization that uses innovative approaches to deliver the power of technology and information to low-income people, giving them valuable tools for building better lives. We help bring broadband into the homes of low-income people, employ youth to train their community members to use technology effectively, and provide socially responsible media properties that offer a wealth of information on education, jobs, health care and other vital issues. Our mission is to maximize the potential of technology to help low-income people improve their lives and enter the economic mainstream. One Economy Corporation has 10 field offices throughout the U.S., and an international presence through One Global Economy. |
