Literacy Volunteers of Greater Augusta has received a $2,500 grant from the Literacy Volunteer Technology program.

The goal of the grant is to provide adult Maine residents with information and technical assistance to use broadband internet services for education, enrichment, accessing health information and governmental services as well as supporting economic and community development, according to a news release.

LVA received the grant as a partner in the ConnectME initiative — their program is now part of the Community Connection project that helps Maine adults explore the uses of high-speed broadband internet.

Civic or social organizations are encouraged to schedule a broadband technical assistance presentation. For more information, call 626-3440.
