Digital skills software available at no cost to Lake County nonprofits and other organizations

Lake County is distributing 29 licenses for digital skills software at no cost through Northstar Digital Literacy, a Literacy Minnesota program, to nonprofit, educational and government organizations that engage in skill-building programs with residents who meet specific criteria.

Interested organizations should have experience serving Lake County populations disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the operational capacity to offer trainings and experience with administering skill-building programs.

Organizations also should be prepared to share a plan for promoting and delivering the curriculum to the community.

Interested community organizations can reach out to broadband@lakecountyil.gov to ask questions or apply by May 31.
