ComcastInWashington's video: Comcast Evergreen Goodwill Bring Connection and Opportunity to Whatcom County

Comcast’s Lift Zones program is benefitting Evergreen Goodwill's Job Training and Education Programs in Whatcom County through enhanced Wi-Fi capabilities. Lift Zones is part of Comcast’s digital equity initiative, which includes programs like Internet Essentials and Project Up. Since the start of the pandemic, Evergreen Goodwill has continued to adjust its vital programs and services and has served more than 6,800 students since March 2020. Enrollment in Evergreen Goodwill projects continue to increase as pandemic conditions improve, making the opening of Comcast’s Lift Zone timely. Since November 2020, Comcast has launched more than 90 Lift Zones that offer free WiFi access across the state of Washington to assist families who have limited or no internet connection in their homes. These efforts by Comcast are part of Project UP, the company’s $1 billion commitment to reach millions of people with the tools, resources, and skills needed to succeed in a digital world. Project UP is Comcast’s company-wide initiative to advance digital equity by connecting people to the internet; opening doors for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and storytellers; and creating new career pathways in the arts, media, and technology.
