Affordable home internet access is available to qualifying families. In Dane County Access from ATT, Internet Assist from Spectrum and Mobile Beacon from PCs for People are available, starting at $10 per month. Each program has different qualifications, pricing and speeds. The Public Service Commission has developed a tool for households to check program availability. Click below to go to the tool.
Computers
Everyone On Madison offers low-cost desktop computers to eligible low-income households. Quality devices are donated by local businesses, refurbished by our partner Cascade Asset Management and deployed in the community by DANEnet staff. Recipients must participate in a computer class, provide proof of residency and meet certain income eligibility requirements.
Classes
DANEnet offers free digital literacy workshops at Madison community centers and other anchor institutions. The workshops cover basic computer skills, consumer safety, internet privacy, email, cloud storage and basic office software. Workshops are offered in English and Spanish. Hmong translation is available at some sites. Contact DANEnet for our class schedule. Click for the class schedule.
Clinics
Device Fix IT clinics are to repair and support computers and hardware owned by households without the means to fix them. Adults can bring in their devices (smart phone, desktop, tower, laptop, etc.) and DANEnet staff and volunteers will help assess, fix and clean the devices. DANEnet will provide free recycling for items beyond their useful life. Click below for the schedule of upcoming clinics.
Everyone On Madison Get Involved
