California Connects offers a multi-pronged approach to increasing digital literacy and broadband access for underserved communities for whom computer and internet access is still a challenge. The project reaches these communities through two primary partner efforts:

The Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) program at San Diego City College and Southwestern College serves economically disadvantaged, first generation community college students who come from underrepresented populations.

The Great Valley Center (GVC) is a non-profit organization targeting services to the Central Valley; residents with the lowest computer and broadband use, and high concentrations of Latinos who also have low computer and internet usage.
