Digital Navigator Program
CACCWA Digital Navigator program looks to serve Cambodian American community members along the Interstate-5 corridor (including residents of Snohomish, King, Pierce, Thurston, and Clark counties) with a particular focus on seniors, those with limited English proficiency, high school students, Medicaid recipients, and community members living at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
We focus on four areas:
- Digital Device Distribution: Ensuring widespread access to essential digital tools for community members.
- Digital Education: Offering targeted programs to enhance digital literacy and proficiency.
- Sustainability Integration: Prioritizing environmentally conscious practices in our digital initiatives.
- Increased Access: Expanding accessibility to digital resources, fostering inclusivity within the community.
We provide free digital classes scheduled seven days a week across various cities and counties. If you’re interested in enhancing your digital navigation skills, feel free to explore our calendar page for more details.
Workshops for those with limited prior experience and knowledge of digital devices and online navigation.
These workshops are targeted for adults and seniors who seek to learn the foundational basics of using a computer or smartphone, understanding how to access the services they need through these devices, and best practices for getting the most out of their devices. We recognize from prior experience that some individuals may prefer to have support on an as-needed basis rather than try to learn many new skills. These workshops will also function as a space for providing technical support and assisting with specific tasks such as enrolling in federal assistance programs, accessing medical benefits or services, and paying online bills.

These learning sessions will provide guidance on finding post-graduation options such as college, entering the workforce, and technical or trade programs; navigating the college application process; applying for scholarships and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA); and crafting professional resumes, cover letters, and personal statements.
Workshops for Cambodian American adults in their early career stages or those seeking to change careers.
They will receive guidance and feedback on resumes and cover letters; assistance searching and applying for jobs; creating accounts on job search engines; and interviewing etiquette and skills.
