Digital NAvigation
At Lake County Digital Navigators, we believe that digital access is more than just connecting to the Internet—it’s about connecting to knowledge, opportunities, and even our own history. Our mission is to empower residents of Lake County by providing essential digital skills while also helping them explore their family roots through genealogy research.
Many residents face barriers to digital access, whether it’s limited Internet availability, lack of devices, or unfamiliarity with technology. Our team provides free computer training, one-on-one tech support, and assistance in finding affordable Internet options, ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital age.
The digital world also offers incredible tools for uncovering personal and family history. We guide residents in using online genealogy resources, digitizing family records, and preserving stories for future generations. Whether you’re just starting your family tree or looking to connect with historical archives, we help make the process accessible and rewarding.
By merging digital navigation with genealogy, we aim to build a community that is not only tech-savvy but also deeply connected to its heritage. Every resident should have the tools to thrive in today’s digital world and the ability to explore the past to shape the future.
