Eastmont Community Center is thrilled to announce that it has been selected as a recipient of the prestigious Spectrum Digital Education grant for 2024. This grant, part of a $1.3 million funding initiative by Charter Communications, will help Eastmont further its mission of bridging the digital divide in the East Los Angeles community. The funds will support the center’s efforts to provide digital literacy training, workforce development, and access to essential technology tools for underserved residents.
Since the launch of the Spectrum Digital Education program in 2017, Charter has invested over $10 million to support nonprofits across the country in connecting communities with critical digital skills. Eastmont Community Center’s participation will enable it to expand its impact through technology-based education, benefiting local families, seniors, and small businesses.
Empowering the East Los Angeles Community
This award comes at a pivotal time for Eastmont, as the community continues to adapt to a rapidly evolving digital landscape. With the grant, Eastmont aims to continue with free digital literacy classes aimed at equipping local residents with skills ranging from internet navigation and online safety to more advanced digital tools. These programs will benefit individuals seeking to improve their employability, small businesses in need of digital marketing expertise, and seniors who want to stay connected with family and friends online.
Eastmont’s ongoing commitment to service aligns with Spectrum’s vision of empowering communities through connectivity. As Rahman Khan, Group Vice President of Community Impact at Charter Communications, explains, “Connectivity is the foundation for meaningful learning, professional growth, and human connection.” This grant from Spectrum will be instrumental in helping Eastmont Community Center continue to foster growth and opportunity for all members of the East Los Angeles community.
