What is the Somerset County PA Digital Navigator Project?
The Somerset County PA Digital Navigator Project addresses a critical need for digital literacy and access to technology in rural Appalachia. Computer Reach is stepping up to ensure that everyone, regardless of their location or background, has the tools and knowledge needed to navigate the digital landscape effectively. By bolstering digital infrastructure and fostering digital inclusion, this project has the potential to make a significant difference in the lives of Somerset County residents, empowering them to succeed in today’s interconnected society. Besides being a Digital Navigator, I work part- time for the Somerset County Federated Library System consortium where I help with our programs, services and the bookmobile. I also worked at the local radio station where I was the on-air radio personality “Jennifer Jumper” on Froggy 95.5 for a year, among other positions.

Testimonials
The Washington Co Digital Navigator Project has been a game-changer for the emergency services in Cokeburg borough, specifically for the Cokeburg Volunteer Fire Department.

The project’s support has bridged the gap between our aspirations and financial constraints, enabling us to better serve our community with faster and more efficient responses.
