Nex-Tech is supporting a new train-the-trainer, volunteer-led effort to address the broadband knowledge and affordability gap in Kansas. It is called the Digital Ambassadors Program. The program seeks to increase digital literacy and skills among Kansas citizens.

The program will involve Adult Digital Ambassadors working one-on-one with local citizens to assist with broadband access and skill training. A core group of trained Digital Ambassadors made up of extension specialists and agents will provide Digital Ambassadors training to local staff and volunteers.

As a leader in technology in Kansas, Nex-Tech is part of the program’s advisory committee. Nex-Tech will offer insights and advice to help make the program a success.

I'm Friday Otuya /Oh-Too-Yah/. I love sharing development resources, working on initiatives that change lives, and building bridges that lead to prosperity.

Specifically, I originate, underwrite, and deploy capital to small businesses that typically don't fit bank credit criteria. These businesses create jobs and expand economic opportunity in Nex-Tech's service area. I also support Nex-Tech's community and legislative strategy toward making life better through technology.

Before this, I worked in broadcast journalism and corporate communications, and did development finance work across Africa and the U.S.

If you are curious how Nex-Tech can partner with you through loans, grants, donations, or another kind of capital investment, I'd love to chat.

I live with my wife and two lads in Hays, KS.
