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. 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!

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. Digital Equity: Dispelling Myths As defined by the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA), "digital equity is a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in our society, democracy, and economy. Digital equity is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and access to essential services." Tech Goes Home has gathered extensive research to support and inform our work. Take a look at these common myths about technology access and get a glimpse of why we do what we do. Myth #1: Everyone has internet access. False. 13% of households in the City of Boston (12% cross Massachusetts) lack a home broadband subscription. Among adults with household incomes below $30,000 a year, 44% don't have home broadband services. Among low-income families who have home internet, 52% say their access is too slow and 20% say their internet has been cut off in the last year due to lack of payment. 16.9 million children across the U.S. lack access to high-speed home internet. During the pandemic, nearly 1 in 5 families with incomes of $50,000 or less lost internet connectivity due to cost, and 49% are on the precipice of disconnection False 19% of households in the City of Boston (18% across Massachusetts) lack a desktop or laptop computer at home Among adults with household incomes below $30,000 a year, 46% don’t have a computer . 26% of adults with household incomes under $30,000 are “smartphone-dependent” internet users. This means they do not have an internet-connected computer at home and rely entirely on a smartphone for internet access. 7.3 million children across the U.S. lack access to a home computer 26% of low-income families who do have a computer at home say too many people share the same computer. Myth #2: Everyone has a computer. Myth #3: Everyone knows how to use computers & the internet. False. One third of all American workers lack basic digital literacy skills for navigating technology and the internet. In Massachusetts, nearly 80% of jobs require at least fundamental digital skills. Middle-skill jobs requiring digital skills are growing 2.5 times faster than those that don’t. 41% of U.S. adults without a high school diploma and 17% with high school diploma but without a college degree are not digitally literate . Workers of color are overrepresented among workers without digital skills due to deep structural racism that creates gaps in income, wealth, and educational opportunity. 57% of Latinx workers, 50% of Black workers, 36% of Asian workers, and 23% of white workers have limited or no digital skills. Our Solution: Training, Tools, & Access In partnership with our network of over 250 community organizations, Tech Goes Home empowers the community members we serve to use the internet as a tool for pursuing educational opportunities, finding jobs, accessing healthcare, fulfilling their essential needs from home, and making their voices heard. We welcome you to join us in achieving our goal of ensuring that everyone has the skills, tools, and access to take full advantage of the internet and the opportunities it offers.

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.
