Tech Goes Home is fighting for digital equity. We help bring computers, internet, and training to those without so students can do homework, adults can find jobs, seniors can connect with loved ones, and all can lead healthy lives. OUR PROGRAMS Programs for Adults TGH partners with social service organizations throughout Massachusetts to deliver courses focused on fundamental digital skills for adults. Courses are offered at locations such as libraries, community centers, public housing, and other nonprofit organizations. Each learner receives a Chromebook and, if needed, 12 months of internet services. Taught by TGH certified instructors at our partner organizations, course topics include, but are not limited to, job searching, financial literacy, communicating with friends and family, accessing public benefits, finding educational programs, accessing telehealth, and more. Each course is tailored to the specific interests, needs, and skill levels of the learners who enroll. Some courses focus on a specific topic, such as our small business courses, which are geared towards local small business owners, micro-entrepreneurs, and people interested in starting a business. These courses focus on digital skills needed to manage finances, leverage city resources, develop an effective online presence, accept online payments, and more. Other focus areas for our adult digital skills courses include workforce development, telehealth, and English language learning, among many others. See Programs Programs for Families TGH’s family-based programs engage children or young adults and their caregivers together to learn digital skills as a team. These programs are hosted at partnering schools, early childcare centers, community centers, and other local neighborhood institutions. Courses are taught by school personnel, childcare providers, community center staff, social workers, and other community leaders who are TGH certified instructors. Families who enroll with students in grades 1-12 receive a Chromebook, and families with young children ages 3-6 receive an iPad. All families who do not have high-quality home internet they can afford have the option to receive 12 months of internet services. Courses for families with young children cover educational and social-emotional learning apps that focus on early language, literacy, and STEAM skill-building. Families practice early learning strategies and discuss challenges and opportunities in parenting with technology. Courses for families with school-aged students focus on topics such as using Google apps for school and work, finding apps and websites for learning and play, tracking grades and attendance online, finding after-school and academic programs, and accessing web-based family resources. See Programs Get Connected! TGH is working hard to connect Massachusetts residents to the internet. We are partnering with the cities, libraries, community-based organizations, schools, health care centers, and faith-based organizations to disseminate critical information and help all of our community members access online resources.

Tech Goes Home is fighting for digital equity. We help bring computers, Internet, and training to those without so students can do homework, adults can find jobs, and seniors can connect with loved ones. ADVOCACY For decades, the digital divide has excluded thousands from accessing critical tools and resources essential to their livelihoods, disproportionately affecting low-income communities, communities of color, and seniors. Advancing sustainable digital equity also means tackling some of the injustices that perpetuate digital exclusion, including systemic racism and economic inequality, as well as educational and health disparities. In the long term, achieving digital equity will lead to greater racial and economic justice. Addressing the root cause of the digital divide will require intentional investment and systemic policy changes. Directing more funds and resources to expand effective, community-centered digital equity efforts will be a good start. That’s why TGH advocates with local, state, and federal agencies and elected leaders for transformational, people-centered solutions that will help increase resources and ensure equitable access to digital tools and opportunities. Below, you can find more information about our latest advocacy work: Features Marvin on Java with Jimmy Tech Goes Home's Chief Advocacy Officer, Marvin L. Venay, was invited to have a conversation on digital equity in Boston, the challenges it created for many families during COVID-19, and how to advance effective solutions. 5 for Good: Tech Goes Home and MACIR offer free IT training Tech Goes Home's work with our partner MACIR was featured on WCVB. Check out the segment here . Marvin at the 2022 Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO) National Conference Alongside the Essex County Community Foundation (ECCF) and The Philanthropic Initiative (TPI), Marvin spoke at the 2022 Grantmakers for Effective Organizations (GEO) National Conference about regional efforts to close the digital divide.

STRATEGIC PLAN With the help of countless TGH instructors, learners, partners, and supporters, we finished the implementation of a comprehensive three-year strategic plan at the end of 2019. With our strategic plan as a roadmap, we expanded our work beyond the City of Boston into nine additional communities in Greater Boston and strengthened our evaluation practices. We also achieved a higher level of sustainability by diversifying our funding sources, growing our board, and enhancing financial systems. In the past five years alone, we have served 22,000 learners and distributed 14,500 new computers in communities across Greater Boston. We have temporarily paused our second strategic planning process due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we look forward to resuming the process soon. In building our second strategic plan, we will engage numerous partners and community leaders to identify our opportunities for growth and create a plan to sustainably support that growth. SUSTAINABILITY Tech Goes Home will become a sustainable organization. GROWTH Tech Goes Home will grow to serve Greater Boston, becoming a national leader. EFFICACY Tech Goes Home will be demonstrably effective at serving the most critical digital needs of the people we serve. You can download our complete strategic plan here .

Opportunity Blueprint The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgency for digital inclusion and brought greater attention to the deep inequities that drive the digital divide, yet we know that we have a long way to go before that gap is bridged. At the end of 2020, Tech Goes Home finalized our Opportunity Blueprint, which focuses on identifying changes we have made in light of the COVID-19 crisis and, based on these learnings, outlining our strategic decisions to successfully chart a path beyond the pandemic.

PARTNERS Successful collaborations are at the heart of the Tech Goes Home. TGH has partnered with more than 300 schools and local community sites to run digital skills courses across Greater Boston. Being a Partner TGH serves as program manager, recruiting and training individuals from the partner organizations to run the digital life skills training classes. TGH provides the course model, hand-picked curriculum, marketing material, course volunteers, as well as the computer or iPad and, if needed, 12 months of internet for each individual or family. TGH also collects data before, during, and after each course to increase program efficacy. TGH supports instructors throughout the course via virtual class visits, meetings, and email. The partner organizations provide course instructors, classroom space, and, if needed, computers on which to run the course. The course instructors recruit learners, select curriculum pieces based on the needs of their learners, and schedule and run the training sessions. This localized approach enables learners to develop strong support networks and lasting bonds with instructors and fellow learners.
