About Community Digital Training

Our community digital training helps local teams design and run low-barrier workshops, set up device lending, and measure participation impact. The approach is practical and dignity-first — activities are scaffolded, easy to run and tuned for real community contexts.

Core approach:

Co-design with community, plain-language materials, short activities that scaffold skills, and evaluation templates that make impact simple to measure.

What we offer

Train-the-trainer workshops

Short, practical workshops that prepare local staff to run low-barrier digital sessions and device clinics.

Device lending & workflows

Policy templates, loan forms, maintenance checklists and coaching on running safe, equitable device trials and lending programs.

Accessible resources

Plain-language participant packs, facilitator scripts, captioned videos and easy-to-use activity guides.

Evaluation & reporting

Simple evaluation templates, attendance logs and short outcome trackers that show participation and learning gains.

Partner pilots

Co-designed pilot projects to test local models with hands-on support and short-term coaching.

Ongoing coaching

Follow-up coaching so facilitators build confidence and the program becomes sustainable locally.

How it works — simple steps to local delivery

2. Co-design & planning

We co-design short workshops and loan workflows with plain-language materials and facilitator scripts.

3. Deliver & coach

Deliver train-the-trainer sessions, model workshops, and coach local facilitators during initial runs.

4. Evaluate & adapt

Use our simple evaluation templates and reflection tools to adapt practice and capture outcomes.
