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. 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.

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. ABOUT US Founded in 2000, Tech Goes Home (TGH) empowers communities to access and use digital tools to overcome barriers and advance lives. We bring computers, internet, and training to those without so students can do homework, adults can find jobs and manage finances, seniors can connect with loved ones, and all can lead healthy lives. In the past five years alone, we have graduated 22,000 learners from our programs and distributed 14,500 new computers. TGH programs serve people of all ages, from 3 to 94, living in communities throughout Greater Boston. Our programs are directed at those without technology at home, with a focus on individuals who are un- or under-employed, are from low-income households, have limited English proficiency, or are living with disabilities. Of the households that TGH serves: 90% live in households that are considered “very low income” (HUD 2017), 90% are people of color, nearly 50% are English language learners, and 34% of adult learners are unemployed. Learn More Technology for all ages TGH has opportunities for folks from age 3 to 94. See how TGH can help you! Program Overview Our Story, Our Purpose Tech Goes Home is focused on tackling the entrenched barriers to technology adoption and internet access in Boston and across the United States. While it is easy to assume that mobile and home-based computer access to the internet has become universal, the stubborn fact remains that 20% of households in the City of Boston lack a desktop or laptop computer, and 16% do not have home internet access (ACS 2015-2019). One year after completing TGH, 96% of our graduates have home internet.

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. 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 .

Partner sites choose one or two of their employees to run the TGH course at their site. After being certified as TGH Instructors, the partner site's employees then run the TGH course at their site.
