Most parents care about their children’s dreams. They want their kids to be successful and have agency over their own future. However, with the pandemic still ongoing and school being online, many students are missing out on education, an essential tool for them to achieve their dreams. In rural Pennsylvania, as many as 50% of students can’t connect to virtual schools according to the Pennsylvania Association of Rural and Small Schools. Unable to access the internet, many children in Pennsylvania are denied the educational opportunity and the ability to “dream” afforded by the internet.

Working With Allies for Children—a child advocacy organization in Allegheny County—the objective of the project was to increase awareness about connectivity inequality within affected communities. The campaign hopes to lead to the emergence of community champions working with the organization to push for policies that bring connectivity to children in the affected communities.
