In a unique partnership, MIT and Incourage Community Foundation, in Wisconsin, have developed What's Up, an initiative that delivers real-time employment service information to residents who are not online, where job information is usually found. What's Up uses digital signs, print materials, an all-access phone system and a webpage to connect job-seekers with opportunities.



This free, one-hour webinar will offer tips and tools for community foundations and other mission-driven organizations seeking to bridge a digital divide in their communities. The webinar will be held Wednesday, April 3, 11 a.m. PDT| 2 p.m. EDT
