SayPro, in cooperation with the United States Peace Corps, is launching digital literacy campaigns aimed specifically at immigrant communities. SayPro recognizes that immigrants often face technological barriers that hinder their access to services, education, and employment. To close this gap, SayPro offers basic computer skills training, internet navigation sessions, and mobile application usage workshops. Peace Corps volunteers work closely with community leaders to ensure that these sessions are language-accessible and culturally appropriate. SayPro’s goal is to build digital confidence among immigrants so they can fully participate in society and access the resources they need.
SayPro designs its digital literacy programs with a practical, real-world focus. SayPro teaches immigrants how to apply for jobs online, access digital healthcare services, communicate with schools, and use banking applications. Peace Corps volunteers provide tutoring, organize group workshops, and conduct home visits for those who need one-on-one support. SayPro ensures that its materials are available in multiple languages and uses bilingual instructors whenever possible. These digital skills help immigrants navigate everyday life more independently and build stronger, more resilient communities. SayPro sees technology as a gateway to inclusion.
SayPro incorporates family learning into its approach by encouraging children to help teach their parents and elders. SayPro sets up intergenerational digital literacy hubs where youth can act as digital ambassadors. Peace Corps volunteers facilitate these cross-age interactions and monitor progress using simple assessments. SayPro believes that involving the entire household makes the learning process more fun, less intimidating, and more effective. This method also strengthens family bonds and mutual respect. SayPro’s model helps immigrant families collectively adapt to digital life, ensuring that no member is left behind.
To make the campaign sustainable, SayPro partners with local community centers, libraries, and cultural organizations. SayPro provides computers, free Wi-Fi, and printed guides so learners can practice beyond the workshop hours. Peace Corps volunteers train local trainers to continue offering support even after their term ends. SayPro also advocates for government funding and private sponsorships to keep the digital literacy programs running. Through these efforts, SayPro and the Peace Corps promote equity, access, and empowerment for immigrant communities in the digital age.
