Digital Inclusion Summit: The Organization hosts annual Digital Inclusion Summit that brings together some of the countrys best and brightest multicultural leaders from across the public and private sectors to educate, and to exchange ideas, share perspectives, and provide insight on an inclusive technological future. Speakers at the Organizations Digital Inclusion Summits have included Vice President Kamala Harris, various Members of Congress, leaders from federal government agencies, and Latino nonprofit and industry leaders. These events increase visibility, participation, and attendance both in-person and virtually to educate the public on such topics. Topics include privacy, digital civil rights, technology education, digital skills, broadband internet access and adoptability. The purpose is also to facilitate discussion among leaders in the field. We estimate that over 200 people have viewed our Digital Inclusion Series online.

ACP Para Mi Events and Resources: The Organization participates in and hosts educational and sign-up events in support of its ACP Para Mi initiative, which raises awareness of the availability of the adoptability of the Affordable Connectivity Program (the ACP), a federal subsidy that helps connect low-income households to the internet. Providing bilingual support in English and Spanish, ACP Para Mi is a resource hub that helps eligible households navigate this benefits process. Because many internet service providers are committed to providing ACP-eligible households a high speed plan for no more than the amount of the federal subsidy amount, families receiving the ACP can often access high-quality internet at no cost. ACP Para Mi/HTP partners with its sixteen coalition partners in ongoing educational outreach efforts in addition to working with other community partners to provide resources for events.
