Equipping rural African American church leaders in Alabama, Florida, and North Carolina with vital educational tools, resources, and tutorials about the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).

Skinner Leadership's GET CONNECTED program is providing ACP information to share with our Black rural clergy partners. Check below to find"Get Connected" tools, including a PSA highlighting ACP as a solution to rural communities' health, education, family, and faith needs, and an easy-to-follow, culturally relevant toolkit. We are also conducting training sessions among faith volunteers to educate and sign up rural faith communities for ACP benefits.
