Digital NEST creates sustainable and scalable technology learning centers for Latinx youth in order to foster economic equality. They achieve this by teaching technical and soft skills, providing mentors, and broadening networks to help youth gain sustainable employment. Digital NEST has sparked a nationwide dialogue among educators, policymakers, and the media as a model for closing the digital divide in under-resourced communities throughout the U.S. For years, their communities were excluded from the economic and technological advancements that other California communities experienced. But Digital NEST was determined to provide their youth with the best possible opportunities to develop their talents, knowledge, and interests.
