The Center for Digital Equity (CDE) is excited to be part of a new Americorps program called the Digital Navigator Corps. Established in 1994, AmeriCorps is a valuable program that provides individuals with hands-on experience, professional skills, and educational benefits, while empowering them to make a meaningful impact by addressing critical community needs across the United States. We invite you to learn more about Americorps through this video. 

We are currently recruiting 10 Americorp members who will be trained to be Digital Navigators with the CDE in Mecklenburg and surrounding counties. This year of service is a great opportunity to learn about and get hands-on experience in a growing career field. The role includes a bi-weekly stipend and an education award upon completion. We especially value individuals that speak languages in addition to English. 

A Digital Navigator helps local residents with their tech needs- which might include helping them find a low-cost internet plan or teaching them basic digital skills on a computer. Someone with basic technological skills, a willingness to learn, and capacity to work with people in a caring and compassionate way would make a great Digital Navigator! Note that Digital Navigators use HubSpot as their primary business software.
