No Child Left Offline (NCLO) No Child Left Offline is an innovative project that brings together public and private partners to help disadvantaged children and their families join the Information Age. The program is the most comprehensive initiative of its kind undertaken by any state as it is intended to help underprivileged individuals overcome the obstacles associated with the digital divide. This is accomplished by placing computers in the hands of disadvantaged populations so that they have access to abundant technological resources and can perform basic computing functions. In Kentucky, the No Child Left Offline program has successfully facilitated cooperation among private partners, corporate foundations and state government to place computers into the hands of underprivileged and disadvantaged individuals. ConnectKentucky’s No Child Left Offline is meeting the challenge of including these citizens in the digital age through these creative public-private partnerships. No Child Left Offline, as an initiative, is as flexible as today’s technology. The organization has already initiated and executed a successful pilot project of No Child Left Offline and has delivered approximately 2,000 Internet-ready computers to disadvantaged individuals and populations across the state.
