Digital Sisters' technology social services are provided under three program initiatives:

Digital Resource Initiative

The resource initiative provides information, resources and strategies to empower young girls and women. It serves as a clearinghouse for educational, career related, job opportunities and financial resources for girls, women and families. This includes an online portal, email newsletter, and reports that allows nation wide access for young girls, women, educators, parents, gender equity supporters and community leaders. Resources, information, events, technology tips and reports are provided here.
