What is the DLX
The Digital Life Exchange (DLX) brings organizations and resource providers together to address the digital needs of vulnerable and underserved populations in the bi-state Kansas City metro area. The DLX is a member-based consortium of human and social service agencies who interact through an open exchange to access, provide, and/or share digital services. Other members include resource providers and organizations who provide space, support, money, devices, expertise, or other contributions, and adjacent organizations committed to ensuring that all Kansas City residents are able to fully participate in digital life.
Kansas Digital Life Exchange Device Access program
The Kansas Digital Life Exchange (KS DLX ) is an expansion of the Digital Life Exchange (DLX), a regional consortium launched by KC Digital Drive in 2024. This initiative aims to enhance access to technology, internet connectivity, and digital skills. In this new Kansas-focused project, partners such as The Toolbox, Latinx Education Collaborative, Workforce Partnership, El Centro, and Phoenix Family will work together to deliver devices and training to low-income families, Hispanic entrepreneurs, job seekers, English language learners, older adults, and individuals with disabilities.
This initiative is supported by $860,500 in grant funding from the Kansas Office of Broadband Development’s ADOPT 2.0 Equipment Distribution Program. In addition, support from the Kauffman Foundation and KC Digital Drive brings the total resources dedicated to promoting digital equity to more than $960,000.
Through the program, with our technology partner TechConnect KC, we are distributing 375 Windows Laptops and 200 Chromebooks through our distribution partners.
“This initiative is about more than giving someone a laptop. It’s about empowering families, building digital confidence, and creating long-term pathways to opportunity,”
— Leslie Scott, Digital Inclusion Program Manager at KC Digital Drive
