" I am passionate about creating opportunities for people to thrive in a digital world. I've seen how the lack of digital skills can limit someone’s potential, and I want to change that. Through Digital Bridge, I aim to be a guide and supporter, helping adults gain confidence with technology so they can explore new possibilities, connect with others, and pursue their goals. I do this work because I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to fully participate in today’s digital age. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Digital Bridge
Many adults in my community find it hard to use digital systems like online banking, digital ID services, and electronic ticketing. At the same time, young people often struggle to explain these systems clearly. My project, Digital Bridge, trains youth volunteers to understand these digital systems and create simple videos or guides to help adults learn. These guides will be shared on social media or used in short community sessions. It’s about making technology easier for everyone, especially those who didn’t grow up with it, by using the communication skills of the younger generation.
