About Us
Delete The Divide is a County of Los Angeles-led initiative that aims to bridge the digital gap. It empowers underserved youth, young adults, and small businesses by connecting them to technology resources and opportunities for personal development and economic growth.
Delete the Divide created the Youth Services app to bring awareness to the mental health and community resources available in Los Angeles County. It aims to provide the youth ( 24 & younger ) of Los Angeles County with a single reference point for information and answers related to mental health, career opportunities, and local community events sourced from four LA County Departments including:
• Youth Devlopment
• Mental Health
• Child and Family Service
• Public Health
Mission Statement
The Youth Services App is a comprehensive catalog containing all resources within LA County to assist Youths. We work alongside other LA County Agencies to ensure that we can provide adequate services to the youth of LA County.
• Establish Partnerships with government agencies, technology companies, business and non-profit organizations, local schools, and academic institutions that sponsor or support social responsibility programs
• Engage Youth to learn and develop IT-related skills that can lead to well-paying career paths and entrepreneurship in the field of information technology
• Coordinate Projects that allow youth and young adults to gain experience applying their IT-based skills by supporting diverse small businesses in their communities.
• Identify and Assess interest among small businesses to develop a website or social media profile to expand their business.
• Facilitate Exposure of IT-related and economic social responsibility programs and opportunities for youth, young adults and small businesses in underserved communities
• Set Up and Maintain a limited number of computer workstations at designated facilities in underserved communities where youth who lack a computer and internet access can participate in program instruction
• Explore Funding opportunities to financially support the program, including corporate donors, philanthropy, grants, scholarships, internships, and employment resources
• Measure progress and outcomes of youth, young adults and businesses participating in the program
