Thinking Deeper About Digital Equity

Charles Canario | A Network50 Spotlight

Charles Canario works at The James Baldwin School as a college coach and is an educator and a digital equity advocate. He has been active in the internet health movement as a Hive NYC member and is part of our first cohort of “Network50.”

As a young mentor and facilitator, Charles has been an exceptional leader within Hive NYC, initially in his role as a youth leader at Hive member organization Global Action Project, and most recently as an independent community member.

Charles brings a strong social justice lens to the Internet health movement, always pushing Mozilla to think deeper about its efforts towards diversity, inclusion, and equity. Over the past year, he has worked closely with Hive NYC staff to lead online privacy and web literacy activities at community events throughout the city.

Charles has also contributed collaboratively on a new online privacy curriculum that is being developed specifically towards communities that aren’t always reached in the technology field, such as immigrant and undocumented communities, youth of color, and young people from under-resourced schools.
