Extension Digital Literacy
The Extension Digital Literacy initiative is a 2-year program focused on ensuring Kentuckians have access to the information and resources needed to be connected to the internet, use internet-accessible devices, and know how to effectively and safely go online.
Supported by the Northern Kentucky Area Development District, this program is targeted toward the eight Kentucky counties in their service region (Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen and Pendleton).
