There is a clear digital divide among Philadelphians, and this divide is a problem for all of us. Having such large portions of our communities essentially locked out of the

larger economy means slower economic growth, higher social service costs, and a lower quality of life for everyone. This is exactly why the Freedom Rings Partnership, a coalition of 16 leadership community groups, established the KEYSPOT initiative.

“ We are coming together to build the nation’s most comprehensive community-based effort to close the digital divide.”

–MAYOR MICHAEL A. NUTTER

BRIDGE the Digital Divide

lack basic computer skills and regular

Internet accessThose without access are

at a distinct disadvantage economically, as more and

more jobs require basic computer skills and most

employment opportunities are found only online. Worse

still, some experts see an even more grim picture of nearly half our city’s

population struggling on the wrong side of the digital divide, with our low-income

communities hardest hit.

of all companies use social media to find new employees

Just think, ten years ago there was no Twitter, no Facebook, no YouTube, no cloud. Now these technologies are commonplace, if not irreplaceable.

The Internet has fundamentally transformed society as the Internet-savvy learn, apply for jobs, network, shop, bank, and play within an increasingly digital world.

ThE POwEr BEhiND KEYSPOTS: FREEDOM RINGS PARTNERSHIPTo confront the digital divide head on, a coalition of 16 community groups

and interested stakeholders started to come together and coordinate their efforts in 2009. Known as the Freedom Rings Partnership, this

coalition secured two federal grants in 2010 from the Broadband Technologies Opportunities Program (part of the Obama administration’s stimulus package), including awards of $11.8 million for Sustainable Broadband Adoption and $6.4 million for Public Computing Centers.

“The goal of the Freedom Rings Partnership is to help eliminate the digital divide by enhancing and expanding underserved communities’ knowledge of and access to the Internet so they can acquire information about employment, education, health, and community and economic development,” said Sharmain Matlock-Turner, President and CEO of the Urban Affairs Coalition. “This project has opened doors, enhanced lives and created access to job opportunities through technology.”

Partner Spotlight:Drexel University

From the beginning, Drexel University has been one of the driving forces behind the Freedom Rings Partnership and KEYSPOTS. And it’s no wonder, given their commitment to being the most civically engaged university in the country.

Drexel’s participation in the KEYSPOT program is just one of several initiatives focused under the umbrella of Digital Civic Engagement, where the University seeks to empower residents to take advantage of the benefits of Internet access, including job opportunities, health and educational information, and government and social service programs.

Drexel is helping Philadelphia combat the digital divide through key initiatives:

Student volunteers work in partnership with the Department of Parks and Recreation to support digital literacy.

Faculty from the College of Engineering actively pursue research solutions to bring connectivity to communities in need.

Drexel is a proud partner of Digital On-Ramps, a mobile and land-based digital network aimed at providing “anywhere, anytime” learning and workforce training for residents ages 14 and up to connect to employment and postsecondary education.

Drexel partners with the City of Philadelphia to support its digital citizenship programs, including Change by Us.

What they found: living without the Internet for even a short time is hard. Really hard. And not just because so much of our social life and entertainment nowadays is online. Try doing your job without email, for instance. Or applying for a job, if you don’t have one.

Give up the Internet.

Learn more about the experiences of those who participted in the Internet Fast—their triumphs, their cheats and their epic fails.

The KEYSPOT Internet Fast Challenge

To highlight the plight of the 41% of Philadelphians without regular access to the Internet, we asked some of Philadelphia’s leading citizens to give up the Internet for 41 straight hours—what we called the Internet Fast.

This was more than just a protest, this was time travel: a journey back to the days when phones had cords, webs had spiders, and computers had two settings–on and off.

“ I joined the Internet fast to raise the profile and needs of almost half of our city’s residents who are digitally disonnected. If we don’t take serious steps to expand access, Philadelphia cannot be competitive in the 21st-century economy.”

– Tayyib Smith Online Publisher



FIRST STEPS OF A DIGITAL JOURNEYOnce computer illiterate, Robin was determined to not get left behind on the wrong side of the digital divide. She signed up for several beginner classes offered at one of Philadelphia FIGHT’s Critical Path Project KEYSPOTS to learn basic Internet and Microsoft Word skills and quickly discovered that “it’s so much easier and faster getting things done” with computers. Just four months after starting her digital journey, she’s teaching others as a KEYSPOT web guide. To take your first step, call 311 or visit phillyKEYSPOTS.org to find one near you.

Philadelphia Opportunities Industrialization Center, Inc. is making sure all communities have access to a KEYSPOT. With two KEYSPOTS at OIC’s main offices located at 1231 N. Broad Street and a mobile KEYSPOT known as the NOMAD (Neighborhood Opportunities through Mobile Accessible Destinations), residents

can get ready access to FREE computer classes, including online GED courses and job search workshops. At the March 26 launch, Mayor Michael A. Nutter made the imperative work of KEYSPOTS clear, “Digital literacy is no longer an option; it truly is a necessity.”

GRANDMOTHER OF 23 GOES WEB SURFINGHow do you stay connected with 23 grandchildren located all over the country? North Philadelphia resident Georgia Richardson decided to waste no more time to get more connected to her “computer-savvy” family via the Internet. “My son lives in Hartford, Connecticut, and he said if I continued with the classes he would buy me a computer so we can better stay in touch,” Ms. Richardson said. Her hard work, including twice weekly classes at the One Day At A Time (ODAAT) KEYSPOT, has earned her a brand new computer from her son. To find out more information about KEYSPOTS and ODAAT, call 311 or visit phillyKEYSPOTS.org.
