Richard Hicks, the founder of the nonprofit organization Inspiredu, is in the running for the prestigious Good Neighbor of the Year Award on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” Hicks initiated Inspiredu to address the digital divide affecting families in metro Atlanta, a mission he believes is crucial as technology plays an increasingly essential role in daily life.
In an effort to support families in need, Inspiredu has successfully partnered with various organizations to offer over 5,000 hours of basic digital training in 2023 alone. Hicks expressed his commitment to ensuring that no family falls behind due to a lack of technological resources.
Recently, Hicks made a return appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” where he was informed that he is a finalist for the Good Neighbor of the Year Award. To support Hicks in winning this accolade, viewers are encouraged to cast their votes by commenting “Atlanta” on the show’s Instagram page. The winner will be revealed on December 20.
For those interested in learning more about Inspiredu and its efforts, additional information is available through their platform.
This recognition not only highlights Hicks’ dedication to community service but also emphasizes the ongoing need for initiatives that foster digital equity. As more individuals rally behind Hicks, there is hope that awareness for crucial nonprofit work like Inspiredu’s will grow, leading to increased support and resources for those in need.
