Bridging the digital divide




Bridging the Digital Divide in Twin Cities Urban Communities



Welcome to the Broadband Access Project

The Broadband Access Project (BAP) is a partnership between the University and 12 community organizations to bridge the digital divide in underserved urban communities in Minneapolis-St. Paul. 
This $3.6-million initiative of the University of Minnesota's Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center (UROC) supports development and enhancements of 12 community-based public computer centers for underserved populations including African-Americans, Latinos, and Asian American and African immigrants. 
The BAP provides free computer trainings and access to high-speed Internet (broadband) to expand access to information about employment, education, health, and community and economic development. The project will open doors, enhance lives, and create access and job opportunities through technology. This website is a resource for this university-community project.
