Digital Ambassadors in the Neighborhood: Local Peer Support Networks

Digital Ambassadors in the Neighborhood is a grassroots initiative that trains adult learners—especially recently trained digital users—to become local “digital helpers” within their community. They offer informal support to peers, neighbors, and family members on basic digital tasks. The practice transforms learners into change agents, strengthens neighborhood ties, and extends the impact of digital education beyond the classroom. It supports the Adult Education goals by embedding learning within everyday life and activating social responsibility among adult learners.
