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.
