Spectrum announced the Georgia Extension 4-H Foundation received a $15,000 Spectrum Digital Education grant for their 4-H Tech Changemakers program, as part of its five-year, $7 million commitment to digital education in Spectrum communities across the country.
The 4-H Tech Changemakers program enables 4-H teen leaders to work with older adults to build their knowledge and confidence when using computers to access information, communicate with family and friends and make online purchases.

“It is more important than ever to obtain an understanding of technology and digital literacy skills,” said State Senator Jeff Mullis, District 53. “This project shows Spectrum’s dedication to addressing this growing need among seniors throughout our communities.”

Georgia Extension 4-H Foundation is one of 49 nonprofit organizations that Spectrum is supporting through 2021 Spectrum Digital Education grants. Since launching Spectrum Digital Education in 2017, Spectrum has donated $7 million in cash and in-kind contributions for digital literacy programs reaching nearly 70,000 people in 20 states and Washington, D.C.

Charter sponsors several philanthropic programs in addition to Spectrum Digital Education, including Spectrum Scholars, a scholarship for under-represented college juniors in financial need; Spectrum Employee Community Grants, which supports Charter employees’ local volunteer activities; and the Spectrum Community Investment Loan Fund, which supports small and minority-owned businesses whose goods and services help meet core needs in financially underserved communities within the company’s footprint.
