摘要：

North Carolina Central University (NCCU) is dedicated to addressing the pervasive issues of digital inequality prevalent in Durham's underserved anchor communities through the Digital Equity Leadership Program (DELP) and NCCU's School of Library and Information Sciences (SLIS). DELP offers a holistic approach as its activities and initiatives encompass workforce development, technological access, and digital literacy training, leveraging its partnerships with local organizations. DELP fortifies communities through its holistic initiatives and adopts an innovative approach to fostering long-term community resilience and adaptability in an ever-growing digitized economy. DELP amplifies capacity building through multifaceted employability and economic growth approaches, laying the groundwork for a more equitable and sustainable future. DELP's core activities expose our community members to skills that support their financial, economic, health, and digital equity. By bringing together program partners and our resources, capabilities, and expertise in digital literacy, innovative remedies were created to reach deeper into the surrounding communities.
