  • Our Mission | Tech Goes Home

    OUR MISSION To close the digital divide. Working in partnership with schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations, Tech Goes Home provides curated support - including access to digital devices, network connectivity, and robust training in how to utilize digital resources - to help individuals and families pursue economic mobility, support academic achievement, access critical resources, and engage with their community and loved ones. Tech Goes Home’s programming addresses digital exclusion as an issue that is part and parcel of the many inequities that exist in our society today as a result of generations of systemic racism and social injustice, and helps ensure that everyone has the tools and knowledge necessary to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the digital world. Our Pillars The Pillars of TGH describe the core principles at the heart of Tech Goes Home and provide a​n internal and external compass to guide our work. PILLAR 1 TGH believes that access to the internet, devices, and digital skills training is critical to ending entrenched inequities. Learn More about Digital Equity

  • Volunteer FAQ | Tech Goes Home

    VOLUNTEER FAQ Below you will find the answers to many of the questions you might have about volunteering for TGH. What is Tech Goes Home? The Tech Goes Home (TGH) program is a national award-winning initiative that has successfully provided residents the tools, education and access required for 21st-century skills development. Through partnerships with schools and community institutions, participants develop skills and habits required for smart technology and Internet use. Enrollees receive fifteen hours of classroom training, a new netbook or mobile device (for $50 co-pay), and, for eligible residents, access to low-cost home Internet. Who does Tech Goes Home serve? Tech Goes Home creates access and possibilities for new technology users: Majority of household incomes under $20,000/yr 79% single female heads of household 41% of adults are English language learners 10% of students have severe physical disabilities Why should I volunteer? The organization needs you! TGH is a non-profit with less than 10% overhead. Translation: as much money as possible is spent on the program, and the TGH staff relies heavily on volunteer resources to achieve its mission. The issue is urgent! Being connected to the Internet has become an essential extension to our families, our schools, and our places of employment. There is convincing evidence that up to 25% of a child’s grade is related to parental involvement, yet many participating parents report that they had never even been to their child’s school prior to TGH. In addition, up to 80% of all jobs are now posted exclusively online, leaving many unemployed members of the community without access. In the past three years TGH has worked with over 10,000 Bostonians to bring families closer together and to help them use online resources to improve their lives, but there is still tremendous need for digital equity. By joining TGH you: Make a lasting impact on underserved Bostonians by helping them live, learn, earn, work, and play through TGH Join a network of dedicated people working to lower the digital divide Improve your own knowledge of online resources -- 100% of our trainers report that they learned something new Gain access to volunteer appreciation events such as happy hours and socials What would I be doing as a volunteer? In a nutshell, volunteers help TGH participants understand how online resources and technology can improve their lives. Volunteers can help out in class with technology and resource guidance, and they can help in class or remotely by translating for participants who don't speak English. CLICK HERE for full descriptions of the volunteer positions What is the time commitment? Most of the TGH volunteer positions are flexible enough to let volunteers “choose their adventure” in terms of time commitment. However, most volunteers will serve 1-2 hours per week. Occasionally there are one-time opportunities that only require a single-day commitment. To find out more information about these opportunities email volunteer@techgoeshome.org Where would I be volunteering? Volunteers either work at one of our TGH sites or work remotely depending on how they want to help. There are 120 program sites in the Greater Boston area, and volunteers will be matched to a site that is accessible and where there is need. Are there virtual volunteer opportunities? Yes! Volunteers with busy schedules can still: Offer resource guidance and tech support to our participants online Translate materials for the TGH website Create tutorials for the TGH website Who volunteers? TGH Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes, and from all over the Greater Boston area. Previous volunteers have worked everywhere from Google to Boston Public Schools. What is Orientation/Training? Each volunteer will attend an orientation prior to working with TGH. Orientations are run by our fantastic partners at Boston Cares. Can I do multiple volunteer programs? Of course! We encourage our volunteers to engage with TGH in as many ways as possible. What is the application process like? 1. Complete an application. 2. Attend an orientation & training event. That’s it, easy as 1-2-3!

  • Our History | Tech Goes Home

    OUR HISTORY Founded in 2000, Tech Goes Home helps bring computers, internet, and training to those without so students can do homework, adults can find jobs, and seniors can connect with loved ones. Digital exclusion perpetuates poverty . Without the tools, access, and skills to do homework and navigate online job portals, it has become incredibly difficult to succeed in school and to gain employment. For example, 8 out of 10 middle skills jobs require digital skills (Cleveland Foundation), and more than 80% of Fortune 500 companies require online job applications, including major employers such as Walmart and CVS (FCC). Further, 84% of the nation’s K-12 teachers report that digital inequities are growing in their classrooms (Pew). FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel has stated that the homework gap is the “cruelest part” of the digital divide facing our country. While smartphones are often cited as a ubiquitous tool that could be the solution, a research paper or job application written on a smartphone pales in comparison to one written on a computer. Poor quality access engenders a lower quality product, leading to an ever-widening opportunity gap. TGH has addressed these digital inequities by providing free digital skills training, discounted new computers, and help securing home internet access. We serve people from the ages of 3 to 94, prioritizing those without technology, the un/underemployed, immigrants, English language learners, and people with disabilities. 75% of TGH graduates have household incomes under $35,000, and more than 30% of adult participants are unemployed. Of the learners that TGH serves, 85% are people of color and nearly half are immigrants. Since 2000, OUR MODEL Today TGH serves 5,500 learners each year with only seven full-time employees. Our lean model minimizes costs while creating an opportunity for learners to genuinely engage with the schools and community organizations that run TGH. TGH’s goal is to deliver high quality digital literacy training while amplifying our community partners’ critical work tackling chronic unemployment, education, and health. With the help of 300+ partner schools and community sites, TGH has served 35,000+ people and distributed 22,500+ new computers. In 2020, our goal is to graduate 6,000 Greater Boston residents from our programs, deepen our support for our partner sites and instructors, and ensure the program continues to grow in scope and size. TGH is focused on tackling the entrenched barriers to technology adoption and internet access in Boston and across the U.S. Our school, community, small business, and early childhood initiatives provide an impactful and cost-effective model to help families and individuals gain access to the skills, hardware, and internet access needed for 21st century success. TGH continues to enhance its impact for learners. Perhaps said best by one of our parents who shared, “It is due to your program that my life and career have been elevated...thank you for your amazing program. It has changed my life.” CHANGING LIVES
