Our mission is to unite organizations and volunteers to transform lives through digital literacy.
The ability to use digital tools to find, analyze, create, and communicate information is a critical skill for the survival and quality of life of people everywhere. We seek to improve the quality of life, the capacity, and the self-sufficiency of CTN’s learners, trainers, and our partner organizations.
PARTNER
We would not exist without our partners. They provide essential connections to communities that lack digital literacy. Our partners also provide the key context that shapes our training. Our network of partners consists of senior centers, housing developments, libraries, and social service agencies.
VOLUNTEER
The need for technology training has never been greater and volunteers are an absolute necessity in closing the digital divide. Volunteer trainers enable us to serve exponentially more people throughout San Francisco in the languages the learners speak.
SPONSOR
In meeting the digital literacy needs of our underserved communities, we rely on sponsorships, grants, and individual donations. Be part of a movement that is closing the digital divide and support our work today!
