4-H Tech Changemakers Help Adults Navigate Technology
4-H Tech Changemakers, Rowan Jackson and Talon Lane, 2022-2023.

4-H Youth are helping adults find jobs, understand remote work, and how to access or adopt new technology.

According to National 4-H, more than 20 million people living in the U.S. lack broadband access, an essential service in today’s economy.[1] Inequitable access to reliable Internet connectivity and a lack of digital skills are contributing to a growing opportunity gap in areas like education, employment, healthcare, social fulfillment and entrepreneurship, with rural communities and communities of color being most affected.

These teen leaders – 4-H Tech Changemakers – explore the impact of the digital divide in their communities, learn high value digital skills, and provide adults in underserved populations with the tools to find additional opportunities for employment through expanded access to digital skills training.
