Community technology centers, which originally were founded to provide technology access to people in low-income areas, have started to provide technology assistance to local nonprofit organizations, according to a new report published by the Community Technology Centers’ Network, in Cambridge, Mass.
The report profiles the services that 11 community technology centers provide to local nonprofit groups, such as offering computer training, recycled hardware, and maintenance support. For example, Inquilinos Boricuas en Accion’s Villa Tech project, in Boston’s South End, is starting a program that will provide high-speed Internet access, network-administration services, and technology support to local nonprofit groups.
The report was written by Beth Kanter, a technology consultant at Summit Collaborative who works with nonprofit organizations, with financial support from the Surdna Foundation, in New York.
