Two Initiatives to Foster Local Broadband Solutions

Two new programs will help leaders and local government officials address their community’s needs in practical, efficient, clear-eyed ways, with sensitivity to all the things that make their community unique: the "Urban Digital Equity Bootcamp," (UDEB) and the "Let's Get Going Broadband Program" (LGGB).

• Modeled after the Tribal Broadband Bootcamp, and having learned lessons from the Digital Equity Leadership Lab and Broadband Accelerate approaches, the UDEB is a two-day event that will develop skills and relationships as well as the needed expertise and partnerships to set and achieve digital equity goals. The UDEB will begin in the fall.
• The LGGB helps cities and counties struggling to find the best tools and methodologies needed to address infrastructure and digital inclusion. This eight-week, cohort-based program is designed to help local governments, elected officials, nonprofits, foundations, and digital equity advocates orient themselves and develop solutions. The LGGB will begin begin in September.
