\nRecently, The Resurrection Project (TRP) kicked off an eight-week digital literacy pilot program in Spanish. The goal was to help community leaders learn how to use technology for every day needs as well as to raise awareness on issues like of immigration.
\nThe Google-based curriculum taught participants how to send group emails, create and share Google Docs documents, create forms and surveys to collect, and measure the impact of campaigns and projects they\u2019re working on.
\n\"\"The digital divide puts Latino families at a disadvantage because, for many, the only Internet access they have is through smartphones. This impacts their children being able to do homework, applying for jobs online, paying bills, or in some cases, checking on important things like the status of an immigration application. Many also don\u2019t know how to use certain programs and tools to advocate for important social issues.
\nAlicia Quebrado, a workshop attendee and DACA volunteer, is learning both. She learned to use Google Sheets to create and manage her budget and pay bills online. But she also learned how to help more people get information and monitor her children\u2019s online activity. \u201cI\u2019m happy to be able participate in this program,\u201d she says, \u201cbecause we don\u2019t have money to pay for classes and these classes are free.\u201d
\nThe workshop\u2019s digital activism component focused on immigration, and showed participants ways for citizens to organize and mobilize communities through social media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter), video, podcasts, and other online platforms. These tools can be used to share information quickly, lobby, start dialogue, educate on an issue, build community, and move people to action.
\n\"\"\u201cOur leaders will be able to provide community members with online resources for immigration services,\u201d says Tabitha Martinez, TRP Advocacy Organizer. \u201cLike websites they can use to access applications for Citizenship, Legal Permanent Residency, and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Our leaders will also be able to help community members navigate through online screening tools to verify their eligibility for DACA.\u201d
\n\u201cTechnology is the future and learning new programs is important,\u201d said Virginia Chavez, a workshop attendee. \u201cIt also allows me to learn more about immigration and DACA, letting me help more people who are applying.\u201d
\nAt the end of the eight-week training, students gave a presentation on a specific project at the La Casa Student Resource Center.<\/a> After the presentations, the graduation portion of the program began. Raul Rayundo, TRP\u2019s CEO, congratulated the students on their new digital literacy skills. \u201cThe importance of knowing how to use technology is vital,\u201d he said, \u201cand I\u2019m proud of all of you for participating in the program.\u201d
\n\"\"The accomplishments of these women are even more meaningful because the programming forms part of TRP\u2019s 25th<\/sup> Anniversary.<\/a> As part of the celebration, TRP has committed to doing more in five years than it has done in the last 25 years.
\nThis means providing more trainings to empower community residents to build healthy digital communities. It is a way to give community leaders a way to access online resources and have a voice in the digital landscape.<\/p>\n
