What is digital inclusion?

Digital inclusion means people have access to affordable internet, a device that meets their needs, and the skills and support to use technology. It also means making digital tools accessible so more people can participate.

At PCs for People, electronic reuse helps connect individuals, families, and nonprofits with low income to computers, internet, and digital skills.

Your next step starts here

Three essentials. More opportunity.

Choose the resource that fits your needs—or share it with someone who could use a little support.

A computer
that works for you.

A phone is useful, but a computer can make schoolwork, job applications, and longer tasks easier. Explore affordable refurbished computers through PCs for People.

Shop computers
Check eligibility

A connection
you can count on.

Internet access helps you learn, work, and stay in touch from home. Explore PCs for People internet options and check what is available for your location.

Explore internet options

The confidence
to take the next step.

Start with the basics or build on what you know. Explore free learning resources for using a computer, navigating the internet, and developing practical digital skills.

Explore learning resources

Computer and internet purchases are subject to eligibility requirements. Availability, coverage, and program offerings vary.

Small steps build confidence

Make technology part of your everyday toolkit.

You don’t have to learn everything at once. Pick one skill, practice it, and build from there.

Try this today: Choose one task you want to do more confidently—send an attachment, join a video call, or save a résumé. Ask someone to practice with you.
Get comfortable with your computer

Practice using a mouse or touchpad, opening an application, and saving a document in a folder you can find again. Give files clear names so they’re easier to locate later.

Find beginner learning resources
Use email and video calls

Practice writing a clear subject line, attaching a file, and checking the recipient before sending. Before a video call, test your microphone and camera and find the mute button.

Build skills for school and work

Create a résumé or a simple document, practice uploading a file, and learn how to find it again. Keep a copy of important work and check that an upload finishes before closing the page.

Recognize suspicious messages

Pause when a message pressures you to act immediately or asks for passwords, codes, or payment. Contact the organization using a website or phone number you already trust instead of a link in the message.

Make your device easier to use

Explore text size, zoom, captions, and built-in accessibility settings. Adjusting how you see, hear, or interact with your device can make everyday tasks more comfortable.

Let’s clear things up

A fresh look at digital access.

Myth / Reality

“Having a smartphone means you have everything you need.”

Reality: Different tasks need different tools. A larger screen and keyboard can make writing, learning, and completing applications easier.

Myth / Reality

“You should already know how to use technology.”

Reality: Digital skills are learned through practice. Asking for help is a useful first step, whether you’re a beginner or learning something new.

Access grows when we act together

Your unused tech could help open someone’s next door.

Through reuse, usable technology can get a second life. Responsible electronics recycling also helps keep materials out of landfills.

  • Share a resource. Help someone find affordable technology or digital learning support.
  • Offer your time. Practice one useful digital task with a neighbor or family member.
  • Give technology a second life. Check accepted items and local recycling options before donating equipment.
A little guidance goes a long way
