Louisville Urban League Receives Grant to Support Senior Jobs Training Program

The Louisville Urban League (Louisville, KY) received a significant donation Monday to help bridge the digital divide.

Spectrum awarded a $40,000 grant to the Urban League.

That money will support the league's senior jobs program.

The program offers technology and digital literacy training to provide participants with the skills to re-enter the modern workforce.

"We are living in difficult times, very challenging times, and particularly challenging times for our senior population," said Lyndon Pryor, president and chief engagement officer at Louisville Urban League. "There are a lot of things that are happening that are going to impact your ability to live, work, and thrive. But it is because of programs like this that we're able to help to continue to support that population and those demographics."

In the past seven years, Spectrum has awarded the Urban League with $245,000 in grants.
