Across Utah, from our southern footprint in Santaquin City to up North in the Town of Cornish, Comcast’s Internet Essentials is making a tangible impact.   

Since its inception in 2011, Internet Essentials has made a significant impact, connecting 234,000 Utahns to in-home, affordable, high-speed internet. This has been a crucial step in leveling the playing field for all.   

Digital connectivity is about more than just providing a connection — it’s about ensuring individuals, families, students, and job seekers have the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.  Access to online resources allows children to complete their homework without the stress of finding WiFi. Folks can access job training programs, apply for employment, and gain the skills needed to thrive in a competitive market.  

“Partnering with Comcast helps YWCA Utah bridge the digital divide and open doors for the youth we serve,” said Corinne Bird, grant administrator at YWCA Utah. “Together, we’re building skills, confidence and career readiness, giving every young person a real shot at a brighter, more connected future.”
