Network Partners

The Be Connected program is managed by Good Things Foundation and is part of a wider community engaging with Network Partners in the delivery of digital literacy.

Our aim is to reach as much older Australian of a CALD background and help them get started and thrive in the digital world.

 

In the coming months, we will begin to deliver small size classes and one-one training for all older CALD Australian. Part of our service with our committed Digital Mentors is to travel around the Sydney Metropolitan area with our “Mobile Techno club” to help as much older CALD Australian.
