OUR APPROACH
ODLAN is a resource hub that connects individuals and organizations with solutions to bridging the digital divide in 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. Online resources, tools, and social services allow individuals to access social gatherings, educational training, community care networks, current events, and medical services. Our approach is to offer the training and possible solutions for addressing the digital divide in 2SLGBTQIA+ communities and other under-served populations.
The internet can help us connect and care for one another. Everyone deserves this access, so let’s give it to them.
