Collective Sistahood Digital Literacy Program

Introducing our fundraising campaign: "Help Seniors Publish eBooks for Equity and Inclusion"

Come join us in our mission to aid deserving seniors and enhance digital connections within our community. Over the last two years, we have been dedicatedly training seniors in essential computer skills with the NorthStar curriculum. Now, we are determined to take their journey a step further by assisting them in publishing their own eBooks.

Through this campaign, we seek to provide each senior with a platform to share their stories and experiences with the world. But we don't stop there. Alongside publishing their eBooks, our focus is on empowering seniors with computer literacy skills to help them generate income.

Thanks to the Miami Foundation's support, we can bring genuine change to the lives of these seniors and increase our impact. Every contribution to this campaign will enable us to offer resources, mentorship, and ongoing support to ensure the success of their eBook publications.

Join us in promoting equity and inclusion by donating to this cause and spreading the word about our campaign. We should empower our elders, close the digital gap, and offer them chances to earn money while improving their computer abilities.

Support seniors in thriving in the digital age and making a difference through storytelling. Together, we can build a more fair and inclusive society.

Success Stories:

Parker is in her late 70s. She was one of the first students to attend class and officially the first to publish her very first book. When she initially started, her reason for attending class was to keep up with the ever-changing times and to better understand how to pay her bills online. Upon seeing her book Rainbow Adventures: Tales of Friendship and Fun, she had a smile on her face. By Parlee Coleman.

These funds will help pay the cost of our instructors: $100 per class x two instructors. The goal is to train five seniors who will both teach and support the class, while also funding materials and publishing costs.
