A computer distribution is visible. What it takes to make that moment possible often isn’t.

In Las Vegas, AT&T, Digitunity, Compudopt, and Mentor Me Now Foundation came together through the 3 Southern States Connected Communities Program to connect local residents with computers and the practical skills to use them.

On July 22 and 24, 40 participants took part in digital literacy workshops covering QR code basics, videoconferencing, cybersecurity, and digital citizenship. After completing the workshop series, each participant received a computer of their own.

The computers were provided by Compudopt through a collaboration between Digitunity and AT&T.

Behind the distribution were several pieces working together: a source of refurbished computers, corporate support, trusted local relationships, and hands-on training.

That system matters because computer ownership can support participation in education, employment, healthcare, and everyday life long after a single event ends.

We’re grateful to AT&T, Compudopt, and Mentor Me Now Foundation for helping strengthen the local systems that make computer ownership possible.

What would it take to build this kind of computer ownership infrastructure in more communities?

Hello from the Windy City!
We’re glad to be in Chicago for Net Inclusion 2026, where practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and advocates come together to examine how communities can access and use the internet, own reliable computers, and build the skills needed to fully participate in modern systems and services.

For the 1 in 10 people in the United States who don’t own a computer, everyday tasks like accessing government services, applying for jobs, completing schoolwork, or managing healthcare have become increasingly difficult as more systems move online. Digitunity’s work focuses on addressing this gap by strengthening the systems that support computer ownership, so people aren’t locked out of essential services simply because they lack the right tools.

We’re looking forward to connecting with peers across the field and learning from the work happening on the ground nationwide.

Thank you National Digital Inclusion Alliance for convening the field again this year and creating space for shared learning and connection.

Over the holiday break, we’re sharing a conversation that looks back at where our work began.

In this interview, Dr. Yvette Marrin reflects on the early moments that sparked a 40-year movement, from a single classroom to a national effort to expand computer ownership. Her story offers a perspective on how change happens and why it still matters.

On Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting companies to consider a small shift in their annual IT refresh cycle; one that can strengthen local communities in a practical, meaningful way.

Retired laptops and desktops can be securely donated through Digitunity and redirected to trusted community organizations supporting learning, work, and connection.
