Best laid plans. All right, so if we are all good and you're not seeing anything else that you should, we'll move along. Here I am, Sky Downing. I serve as the deputy director at Digital lift, which is formerly known as community tech network. So if you don't recognize the name digital lift, this was a relatively recent change, or you may know us as CTN. So here at Digital lift, we believe that digital access is foundational to health, opportunity and connected communities, all of the things, right? So workforce development, everything, we partner with organizations across sectors. So we work with everybody to deliver multilingual, community, rooted, digital training programs that uplift both individuals and strengthen internal systems. So capacity building for organizations, excuse me, our mission is to transform lives through digital access, education and empowerment, and we envision a world where everyone can thrive through digital connectivity. Hopefully, that sounds familiar and rings true with all of you. Our core values are community centered, capacity building culturally responsive engagement and practical innovation and radical inclusivity. With more than a decade of digital innovation and inclusion expertise, digital lift has delivered high impact training and tools to communities across the country for over 17 years, and this includes, you can see, here are our bigger picture numbers from 2020 on, but I'll also share some numbers just for our capacity building work, which was actually started and launched in 2022 so we've delivered, in capacity building alone, 13,385 hours of training have been delivered to our partners for the purpose of building their capacity and training their trainers. 188 partners nationwide have now identified staff and or volunteer trainers and have them on hand to sustain their work. And those those partner trainers are certified by digital lift. We have delivered 500 devices just in the last two, one and a half years, actually, from January 2024, to now, through a partnership with the Methodist healthcare ministries. They are community partners here in Texas. So just over the last year and a half, we have an additional 250 devices to deploy inside of this partnership in 2026 Additionally, we proudly offer a library of linguistically proficient digital skills curricula to be used in your classrooms. This is available on a multitude of devices, and is specific to digital skills building for classroom or workshop settings. We currently speak 10 languages fluently in house, and that is, you know, that is what assists us in our translation needs. But we also have a robust partnership with a translation house, so we do have the ability to customize and translate curriculum and materials into whatever language is needed. We believe in meeting people where they are at, and this includes our partners. So that said, we want you to train the team that you need without starting from scratch, whether you're launching a new digital inclusion effort or strengthening existing programs, we're all in this together, and right now we are being tasked with doing more with less. So we must be strategic about this, and they're just i. We really have a strong belief that there is no need to reinvent the wheel. So let's work together to understand what each other's strengths are and feed those strengths and support each other in partnership. We believe that digital lift offers targeted capacity building solutions that will help your team grow with confidence in this ecosystem. And we begin every partnership with a structured diagnostic needs assessment, which helps us identify those most critical areas in which your organization could benefit from our training and additional resources. And then we, we, we then tailor each agency's training package to meet those specific needs. We offer three core training pathways designed to meet different organizational roles, providing program managers with the tools to confidently lead strategy, evaluation and implementation activities. We train digital navigators to deliver one on one support that bridges access and breaks down barriers while building trust inside their communities. And we train classroom trainers to confidently facilitate workshops and short term classroom activities using our multilingual, modular curricula or any curricula that they've provided on their own, we also provide that sector specific focus as well, which is tailored to currently our public libraries, the aging and senior services agencies, community health and wellness providers and public benefits enrollment specialists. So it's through these dynamic partnerships that we equip teams with the tools, resources, curriculum and coaching needed to lead in their field without reinventing the wheel. Our lift programs are tailored to meet local needs and workforce demands across states. We do. We are national serving currently, right now, we are working largely in, you know, with with a large focus in Texas and California. But we also are starting partnership with the New Mexico State library system as well. As, you know, we're working in Oklahoma and Iowa and Chicago and so we're all Illinois. Excuse me, we're all over the place. So, so we're happy to talk about partnership in any state, and particularly in this case, obviously Arizona, but if you are national serving as well, there's potential for additional scaling. That said, we we offer training to community health workers or CHWs as digital navigators, supporting telehealth, access benefits, enrollment and digital wellness literacy, serving rural, aging, disabled, low income veteran, reintegrating in mono or multilingual communities safely and approachably right now with mhm in the Capital, Alamo and mid border regions, is where we're working, as well as the upper Rio Grande Valley. We meet the partners and learners where they are. We have literally and figuratively, we meet them where they are. So we've actually put together programming where we have remotely dialed in and taught youth navigators in Spanish and for colonias in the upper Rio Grande Valley. So it's been very, a very profound outcome of the work to learn how we can stretch and work together. That said, we have are able to, under the mhm grant, serve 30 community partners currently over a three year time period, as well as building more than 30 plus digital equity partners, supplying 30 plus digital equity partners with training resources, multilingual curriculum, devices and digital navigator support services. So those digital equity partners are the folks that mhm actually awarded, like us, and mhm was pretty groundbreaking in the fact that they they noticed in the applications that they were receiving for this award that their partners were asking for training, they were asking for help and indicating that they needed that capacity building support in order for their programs to be more successful. So mhm saw to it that they brought us on in partnership to support in that way as well, in addition to operating our own programming and serving those community partners. So so far this year, within this partnership, we've conducted and supported over 150 community outreach events. We've seen nearly 500 unique enrollments in trainer training alone, distributed those data enabled devices over over two years time, provided 521 unique individuals with over 1300 hours of digital navigator support. Services through over 198 sessions across the 60 plus partner sites, one example, one specific example of this partnership is our partner, MHP salud. They are in the rural, rural South Texas, and they have a huge they have a huge reach across Texas, but specifically working in rural and historically disconnected communities there in South Texas. So what really sets this up, this training, apart from others is it's multi dimensional focus. So not only do their CHWs now help clients enroll in benefits or access patient portals, but they're also learning how to use digital medical devices and equipping and they're also equipped to teach those other things, those basic digital skills, applying adult learning methods and managing digital inclusion programs from within their organizations, so they're able to really provide more robust service delivery to their patients, and because we tailor every element to meet local context and organizational need, language, regional resources, cultural relevance. This ensures that our partners are not just participating in a training, but they're actually gaining that from a transformational learning experience which multiplies their impact sustainably inside their communities.
