IMPACT
YEAR 2025
The Best Solution for a Brighter future. Increase our ecosystem ventures for technology and devices.
In 2025, It Takes A Village Community Outreach and Advocacy (ITAVCOA) strengthened its commitment to building a brighter, more inclusive future by expanding our ecosystem of technology access and device distribution initiatives. Through strategic partnerships, community collaboration, and targeted programming, ITAVCOA increased access to digital tools for underserved individuals and families, helping to reduce the digital divide within Black and marginalized communities across Nova Scotia.
​
By increasing technology ventures, ITAVCOA supported students, seniors, job seekers, and community organizations with essential devices, and connectivity resources. These efforts enhanced educational success, employment readiness, social inclusion, and community resilience. Our continued investment in technology ensures community members are equipped with the tools and opportunities needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
