My Story…
Running with a purpose!
On September 11, I’m participating in the Yorkville Run, along with the ComKids Team. All funds raised will go to the ComKids program which supports youth by providing new Chromebooks and digital literacy training. Please consider joining me on the ComKids team to help raise money for this great cause. If you can’t participate, I would very much appreciate your support with a donation. Together we can help youth reach their academic goals.
Thanks!
Description
For over 20 years, ComKids has been supporting Grade 7 students in low-equity, underserved communities across the Toronto, Hamilton, and Niagara Regions; providing essential digital infrastructure, educational content, and support for those facing significant barriers to digital inclusion, digital literacy, and academic success. Since our inception the significance of digital inclusion has grown exponentially as technology becomes integral to daily life, compounded further by COVID-19, as distanced learning becomes essential for successful engagement in academic activities.
Areas of activity:
Access for All: Provision of free, consistent, and reliable access to technology within their homes; including a brand-new Chromebook and internet access. Partnering with local School Boards to identify young people most in need.
Empowered Learners: Delivery of in-person and online Digital Literacy Master Classes (content partners include Google, TELUS Wise, and CIVIX); developing essential digital literacy skills required for academic success and motivating further digital learning necessary for positive engagement in higher education and future labour markets.
