Report: Bridging the Digital Divide in the San Joaquin Valley (pdf - 587 KB)
An area of focus of NEW VALLEY CONNEXIONS was the
Digital Divide Education Project. It addressed the
region's digital divide by creating an educational
awareness project in the San Joaquin Valley, a region of
the Central Valley that has particularly high concentrations
of Hispanic, rural, immigrant, less educated, and
lower income populations which statistically are on the
under-served side of the digital gap.
The community response to this project lead to an
action-oriented spin- off program, the Central Valley
Digital Network (CVDN) of the Great Valley Center.
CVDN serves to address issues of equity for and access
to information technology in the region as an engine
for greater economic participation and fuller access to
civic life. For more information, please visit the
