Arvig Gives $130,000 to Local Schools

Arrvig announces...

Arvig announced today that it distributed more than $130,000 to local K-12 schools this past year through its long-standing Internet School Partnership Program. Building on a multi-year legacy of community support, Arvig is also expanding its school partnerships to include Let’s Talk Tech, part of its Digital Life Skills educational resources.

In the many years Arvig’s Internet School Partnership Program has been active, the company has given nearly $1.86 million directly to participating school districts across the region. The program gives local families a free and easy way to support their school district. As an Arvig internet customer, all they need to do is designate a school to support, and Arvig does the rest.

The newly integrated Digital Life Skills platform provides schools with practical, turnkey modules covering online safety and how the internet works. Arvig volunteers are available to present the material to second- and third-grade classes (7- to 9-year-olds) at no cost to the school. Interested educators can request an event speaker at arvig.com/dls.

Local schools and community members interested in learning more about Arvig’s Internet School Partnership Program or enrolling their school for the upcoming year can visit arvig.com/supportyourschool.
