Advancing Digital Equity for All New Yorkers

We achieve digital equity when everyone has the technology, connectivity, and skills they need to thrive in today’s digitally-driven world. NYSDEN unites regional and state leaders to advance digital equity priorities across New York State, connecting eleven regional coalitions and a network of over 100 statewide practitioners into one coordinated movement.

Your membership turns that shared purpose into shared power. When you join, you strengthen a statewide voice for digital inclusion; gain a seat at the table with peers solving the same problems you face; and help move funding, policy, and promising practices forward in every region. Your dues sustain the convenings, advocacy, and coordination that keep digital equity a priority in New York.

We are launching membership at our third annual conference this month, and we would be honored to haver you as part of the founding class.

Who Belongs Here

Our members are stakeholders from across New York, including digital inclusion coalitions, practitioners, industry leaders, nonprofits, education professionals, workforce and economic development groups, government leaders, and community advocates. Most of all, we bring together a wide range of cross-sector representation, from adult education to the health industry to social justice leaders.
