On January 31, 2026, DTD participated in the Alliance Kory Hunter Middle School Community Kick-Off Resource Fair in Supervisorial District 2. The fair offered free haircuts, toys, diapers, and hygiene products. There were also presentations on identifying substance abuse in adolescents and understanding immigration rights. DTD staff connected with over 50 participants to promote free Google IT Certificates and Learn Basic Tech Training opportunities in the community. Five individuals became DTD members, and four registered for the upcoming Learn Basic Tech Training. Through this event, many community members now have the tools needed to build and strengthen their tech skills.

The Youth Re-Entry Program focuses on preventing high-risk, gang-affiliated youth from entering the adult prison system. Each year, Homeboy’s Youth Re-Entry Center serves approximately 100 formerly incarcerated or gang-involved youth, ages 14–24, providing comprehensive wraparound services such as mental health support, academic assistance, college preparation, and career readiness programs.

On January 31, 2026, Delete the Divide (DTD), in partnership with Fifth Sun Pictures, hosted an interactive professional development workshop for YMCA leadership at Torrance High School in Supervisorial District 4.  The session showcased practical uses of VR, AI tools, and wearable technology in youth education and workforce programming.  The workshop covered immersive learning theory, hands-on VR activities, AI and wearable tech demonstrations, and alignment with Career Technical Education pathways.
