In June, OCA received a ~$700k federal grant to do outreach for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). This program is one of the ways we’re addressing OCA’s policy on “Bridging the Digital Divide”. Over the next two years, we will implement 600 outreach activities/events, reach 800,000 people, and hold 200 ACP enrollment events.
OCA National is hiring part-time Community Outreach Fellows (also informally called “ACP Fellows”) to work within their local AANHPI community to reach historically underserved and low-income populations. Through this work, OCA National will
- Support low-income AANPHI communities with access to technology and broadband
- Build and increase community engagement through OCA chapters across the country
- Increase local membership numbers and engagement
Community advocates are paid contractors by OCA National ($25/hour) and work closely with National staff. If anyone is interested in applying, please email our Community Outreach Coordinator, Christian Phomsouvanh
