Hopkins Digital Access Initiative

The Hopkins Digital Access Initiative is an external group working to plan for a future where every Hopkins community member has the digital tools, skills, and support to thrive in today’s connected world.

This initiative arises from today's reality: Technology is an everyday essential — without it, people face barriers to jobs, services, education, and connection with friends, family, and the community.

We're working toward a different future: A future where digital access is a bridge to opportunity, connection, and community participation for everyone!
