BoomerTECH Adventures: Getting there from here — bridging Midcoast Maine’s digital divide

BoomerTECH Adventures and Coastal Maine Regional Broadband (CMRB) held their first round of free workshops providing digital literacy training and education with the goal of helping Midcoast libraries and organizations support their clients to access and utilize high-speed internet effectively. The purpose of these “Helping The Helper” sessions was to provide library staff, volunteers, and other community support groups with resources, strategies and personal connections to better assist their clientele in understanding and making the most of their digital devices when accessing high-speed internet in their homes, libraries and communities. BoomerTECH Adventures is partnering with CMRB to help participants develop their digital expertise while modeling and encouraging compassion, honesty, fairness, respect for diversity and adherence to ethical behavior. The organization offers online classes through Maine Adult Education as well as workshops in collaboration with community groups looking to help Mainers thrive on and offline.
