Delete The Divide is an initiative led by the County of Los Angeles to empower youth, young adults, and small businesses in underserved communities who are adversely impacted by the digital divide. Partnerships have been established with public, private, academic, and community-based organizations to unify efforts in ensuring that members have direct access, training, and support services in modern technologies. The coalition of partners will provide existing programs, services and resources to connect youth, young adults and small businesses to opportunities in technology that enable pathways to personal development and economic growth.
