On May 12, Shannon Distel, Trellus Adult Education’s Computer Skills Instructor, presented on Digital Inclusion at TCS Digital Empowers: Collaborating for Connected Futures, hosted at the University of Chicago.
The conference brought together community, industry, nonprofit, and civic leaders to share real-world strategies for advancing digital inclusion, expanding opportunity, and strengthening workforce readiness for the future.
During her presentation, Shannon spoke about the importance of culturally relevant digital literacy instruction and creating equitable pathways for participation in an increasingly digital world.
Trellus is proud to have Shannon sharing her expertise and helping adult learners build the skills and confidence needed to succeed in today’s digital landscape.
You don’t have to carry the weight of the world solo. 🌿
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re reminding ourselves that "community" isn't just a word—it’s a safety net. Healing happens in the spaces between us, through shared stories and open hearts.
Remember: Your worth isn’t measured by your productivity, and your struggles don’t make you a burden. They make you human.
How are you checking in with yourself today? Let’s start a conversation in the comments. 👇

As part of Trellus’ wellness initiative, we celebrated Active Lifestyle Month this April. To encourage movement and prioritize wellness, weekly Wellness Walks were arranged to Mather Park and West Ridge park.
Staff enjoyed the beautiful weather, wildlife, chatting with co-workers, and doing other outdoor activities.
Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make this initiative a success—here’s to continuing these healthy habits beyond April!
