Digital Spectrum Academy

Empowering Communities Through Digital Equity

Bridging the Digital Divide

The Urban League’s Digital Spectrum Academy (DSA) is a comprehensive digital equity initiative that empowers individuals and families with the technology tools, training, and access needed to thrive in today’s connected world. We believe digital access is a human right—and a critical pathway to economic opportunity, education, and healthcare.

Whether you're a senior adult learning to navigate telehealth platforms, a job seeker preparing for a tech-enabled career, or a small business owner adapting to a digital economy, DSA meets you where you are and moves you forward.

What We Offer

  • Connectivity
    Free access to high-speed internet and digital devices through our Burns & McDonnell Computer Lab, mobile hotspot distribution, and device setup support.

  • Digital Literacy Training
    Hands-on, culturally relevant courses for seniors, adults, youth, and entrepreneurs—covering everything from basic computing and online safety to digital finance, telehealth navigation, and virtual collaboration.

  • Career Pathways in Tech
    Training programs and career readiness services to equip participants for success in high-demand, tech-enabled careers in healthcare, construction, manufacturing, and beyond.

  • Telehealth Access & Health Equity
    In partnership with Uzazi Village, Housing Authority of Kansas City, and Samuel Rodgers Health Center, we offer training to help participants manage e-records, access virtual care, and improve health outcomes—especially for expectant mothers and seniors.
