PHLConnectED
“PHLConnectED is part of the first stage of our larger digital equity initiative that supports internet adoption and digital literacy skills development for all Philadelphia residents. By focusing on pre-K-12 student households now, we can have an immediate impact in bridging the digital divide.”
—Mayor Jim Kenney
PHLConnectED is the City of Philadelphia’s initiative to help pre-K–12 families access free or low-cost internet.
PHLConnectED helps families:
• Apply to the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP)
• Connect with a Digital Navigator for one-on-one support with accessing and using technology, and
• Access other digital supports and resources available across the City
The PHLConnectED program is possible thanks to a collaboration among business and civic leaders who came together to support Philadelphia students.
