Digital Skills Are Essential

Today, everything from finding job opportunities to staying connected with family and accessing healthcare services is online. Yet, many in our community face challenges like lack of internet access, digital devices, or the confidence to navigate the digital world. The LCRB aims to help bridge this gap and build a stronger, more connected community.
