Thanks to funding from the Massachusetts Broadband Institute’s (MBI) Digital Equity Program, Coastline has spent the past two years helping older adults bridge the digital divide by providing free technology training, digital literacy education, and iPads to eligible participants. Through this initiative, hundreds of older adults have gained the skills and confidence to connect with family, access healthcare, manage finances, and safely navigate today’s digital world.

As this successful MBI-funded program comes to a close this November, we’re excited to offer our final Learn to Earn classes, Tech Cafés, and Graduation Celebration before wrapping up two incredible years of digital empowerment.
