Foster youth receive free technology and training through the Digital Bridge Program

This summer, San Bernardino County Children and Family Services launched the Digital Bridge Program, made possible through state-provided funding. The program gave high school-aged foster youth hands-on training in basic technology skills and provided each participant with a free technology package that included a laptop, tablet, printer and accessories.

From June through August, CFS hosted eight sessions (five in San Bernardino and three in Victorville), reaching more than 370 youth. With support from CFS volunteers and San Bernardino County’s Information, Technology and Support Division, youth learned technology basics, safe internet practices, and digital literacy skills.

“The Digital Bridge Program is more than just technology; it’s about opportunity,” said CFS Director Jeany Glasgow. “By providing both technology and training, we’re opening doors to education, career readiness, and independence.”

By combining practical training with essential tools, the Digital Bridge Program prepares foster youth for success in school and beyond, whether applying for jobs, creating resumes or preparing for college. This initiative reflects San Bernardino County Children and Family Services’ ongoing commitment to fostering growth, independence and opportunity for youth in care.
