Title
Community Technology Centers' Network
Description
Mission
The Community Technology Centers' Network (CTCNet) was founded on the recognition that in an increasingly technologically dominated society, people who are economically disadvantaged will be left further behind if they are not provided access to and training on information tools. CTCNet envisions a society in which all people are equitably empowered with these tools.
History
CTCNet was founded in 1990, as the Playing to Win Network, by Antonia Stone, a former public school teacher who during the early 1980s had started a computer technology center in the basement of a housing development in Harlem. In the early 1990s, Ms. Stone cooperated with the Educational Development Center (EDC) in an application to the National Science Foundation , which resulted in a five-year grant to support the extension of the network's services, the expansion of its membership and its evolution into an independent, self-governing nonprofit organization. At the start of the grant the organization's name was changed to the Community Technology Centers' Network (CTCNet).
In 2000, CTCNet incorporated as a non-profit, tax-exempt organization in Massachusetts with a National Board of Directors representing its member organizations. In November 2003, CTCNet moved its National Office to Washington, DC. Learn more about CTCNet's accomplishments in its 15-year history. Milestones »
