LCF "Conectese al Futuro..." Report on Pathways to Internet Project Now Available

In 2010, the Latino Community Foundation (LCF) partnered with the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) and received federal stimulus funds to accelerate the deployment and adoption of broadband Internet services in underserved Latino communities. With these funds, LCF invested in eight community organizations to implement the “Pathways to the Internet” project. The purpose of the project is to increase computer and Internet use among primarily monolingual Spanishspeaking parents.

This paper captures the lessons learned from the experience of LCF grantees, and based on these, identifies opportunities to increase digital access that will eliminate educational, income, and health disparities. The recommendations are a framework for future investments to accelerate digital inclusion of the Latino community.
