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. PARTNERSHIPS We're excited to announce that we have reopened the waiting list for new partner sites to join our TGH courses. While we're currently not accepting new applications, you can still express your interest by joining the waiting list. We'll keep you updated as soon as opportunities become available. PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW Tech Goes Home collaborates with community-based organizations (schools, nonprofits, libraries, etc.) to offer devices, internet access, and digital skills training to the individuals and families most affected by the structural injustices at the root of digital exclusion. TGH employs a train-the-trainer model that prepares and supports trusted instructors at those sites to teach a 15-hour course tailored to their learners, after which graduates earn a new digital device and one year of Internet subscription provided by TGH. STEPS TO BECOMING A TGH PARTNER SITE 2. Meet with Our Team A TGH representative will reach out to you to discuss next steps and answer any questions you may have. This meeting will be an opportunity for us to learn more about your organization, for you to learn more about TGH, and for us to collaboratively explore what a potential partnership might look like. 3.

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. PAID PARTNERSHIPS Tech Goes Home offers two partnership tracks: our traditional TGH-Funded model and our Fee-for-Service model. In our traditional model, the full cost of the program is covered by Tech Goes Home. To learn more about the process of becoming a TGH-Funded partner, click here . Under our Fee-for-Service model, the partner site covers costs associated with offering the TGH program at their site. A paid partnership may be right for your organization if: You are interested in offering the Tech Goes Home program to a large number of learners, above and beyond the average of 40-60 learners who graduate from each TGH-Funded partner site per year. You are looking to get the partnership process started right away, rather than joining the TGH-Funded partnership waitlist. PARTNERSHIP OVERVIEW Tech Goes Home partners with other agencies (schools, nonprofits, libraries, and others) that work with people who need access to technology. Our program is a 15-hour digital skills course that can be conducted virtually or in-person. Learners who complete the course earn a Chromebook and one year of paid internet access. 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. Our curriculum is customizable so that instructors teach the digital skills, apps, and websites they think are most useful for their specific learners. What TGH offers: Course model Training for individuals from the partner site who will run the digital literacy classes Instructor resources Support to instructors throughout the course via class visits, meetings, and emails Marketing materials for recruiting learners One new device (iPad or Chromebook) per participating household (learner or caregiver/child pair) One year of internet service per household, if the learner does not already have affordable, high-quality internet access at home Shipping and delivery of technology bundles to the partner site (if in-person) or learners' homes (if distance learning) What the partner offers: A fixed cost-per-household that covers the costs of TGH programming at your site Staff member(s) to serve as instructors Recruitment and enrollment of learners for the courses at your site STEPS TO BECOMING PAID PARTNER OF TGH 1.

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. Digital Equity Research Tech Goes Home has gathered extensive research to support and inform our work. Take a look below and get a glimpse of why we do what we do. The Digital Divide and Economic Benefits of Broadband Access by The Council of Economic Advisors "Just under half of households in the bottom income quintile using the Internet at home, compared to 95 percent of households in the top quintile." "Academic research shows that using online job search leads to better labor market outcomes, including faster re-employment for unemployed individuals, yet because of a digital divide, low- income households are less able to use these tools than high-income households." "Addressing the digital divide requires effort on multiple fronts, including policies that make broadband more affordable." "When Google Fiber was to be rolled out in Kansas City, speeds on existing networks in Kansas surged 86 percent." "Effective digital literacy training may require place-based or demographically tailored interventions." Digital Divide Persists Even as Lower-Income Americans Make Gains in Tech Adoption by Pew Research Among adults with household incomes below $30,000 a year: 44% don’t have home broadband services 46% don’t have a computer “By comparison, each of these technologies is nearly ubiquitous among adults in households earning $100,000 or more a year.” “As of early 2019, 26% of adults living in households earning less than $30,000 a year are “smartphone-dependent” internet users – meaning they own a smartphone but do not have broadband internet at home. This represents a substantial increase from 12% in 2013. In contrast, only 5% of those living in households earning $100,000 or more fall into this category in 2019.” “In 2015, 35% of lower-income households with school-age children did not have a broadband internet connection at home” ? FACT SHEET: 2016 BROADBAND PROGRESS REPORT from the FCC "One-third of all Americans – 100 million people – haven’t adopted broadband at home. Broadband adoption is key to America’s competitiveness – to jobs, e-government, education, and energy. Compare that to South Korea and Singapore where adoption rates top 90 percent." "Internationally, the U.S. continues to lag behind a number of other developed nations, ranking 16th out of 34 countries" Mobile Technology and Home Broadband 2019 by Pew Research “92% of adults from households earning $75,000 or more a year say they have broadband internet at home, but that share falls to 56% among those whose annual household income falls below $30,000.” “Half of non-broadband users today say they do not subscribe to broadband because the cost of a monthly subscription is too expensive, while 31% say the cost of a computer is too expensive.” Closing the K–12 Digital Divide in the Age of Distance Learning by Common Sense Media & Boston Consulting Group "Approximately 15 million to 16 million K-12 public school students, or 30% of all public K-12 students , live in households either without an internet connection or device adequate for distance learning at home, a higher number than previously recorded; and of these students, approximately nine million students live in households with neither an adequate connection nor an adequate device for distance learning." "300,000 to 400,000 K-12 teachers live in households without adequate internet connectivity, roughly 10 percent of all public school teachers, and 100,000 teachers lack adequate home computing devices." Limiting Broadband Investment to ‘Rural Only’ Discriminates Against Black Americans and other Communities of Color by National Digital Inclusion Alliance “All of the nation’s counties whose populations are at least 75% rural [those most likely to qualify for federal broadband subsidies], taken together, accounted for less than 8% of Americans living in households with no broadband. In contrast, the most urban counties - those with fewer than 5% rural residents - accounted for more than 35%.” "76% of residents living without broadband connection in the most rural third of U.S. counties were white and non-Hispanic. [...] In contrast, substantial majorities of the residents in households without broadband in our urban datasets were people of color. People of color accounted for 75% of the unconnected in cities with 200,000+ residents. Black residents alone accounted for 28% of the unconnected in 95%+ urban counties." "A federal broadband policy which provides funding only for broadband infrastructure deployment, and only to areas which have no existing 25/3 Mbps residential broadband service - with no accompanying investment in affordable access and other measures to help urban as well as rural residents get connected - discriminates in a big way against Black Americans and other communities of color.” “All of the nation’s counties whose populations are at least 75% rural [those most likely to qualify for federal broadband subsidies], taken together, accounted for less than 8% of Americans living in households with no broadband. In contrast, the most urban counties - those with fewer than 5% rural residents - accounted for more than 35%.” "76% of residents living without broadband connection in the most rural third of U.S. counties were white and non-Hispanic. [...] In contrast, substantial majorities of the residents in households without broadband in our urban datasets were people of color. People of color accounted for 75% of the unconnected in cities with 200,000+ residents. Black residents alone accounted for 28% of the unconnected in 95%+ urban counties." "A federal broadband policy which provides funding only for broadband infrastructure deployment, and only to areas which have no existing 25/3 Mbps residential broadband service - with no accompanying investment in affordable access and other measures to help urban as well as rural residents get connected - discriminates in a big way against Black Americans and other communities of color.” OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL? TECHNOLOGY AND LEARNING IN LOWER-INCOME FAMILIES from The Joan Ganz Cooney Ce nter "Most low- and moderate-income families have some form of Internet connection, but many are under-connected, with mobile-only access and inconsistent connectivity." "One third (33%) of those below the poverty level rely on mobile-only Internet access." "Among families who have home Internet access, half (52%) say their access is too slow, one quarter (26%) say too many people share the same computer, and one fifth (20%) say their Internet has been cut off in the last year due to lack of payment." "Parents with mobile-only access are [...] 25 percentage points less likely to use online banking or bill-paying (49% vs. 74%), 14 percentage points less likely to apply for jobs or services online (42% vs. 56%), and 12 percentage points less likely to get news or follow local events online (70% vs. 82%)." "Four in 10 parents without a home computer (40%) or home Internet access (42%) say the main reason they do not have these items is because they are too expensive." "Children from low- and moderate-income families use computers and the Internet for a variety of educational activities, but those without home access are less likely to go online to pursue their interest. [...] 35% of those with mobile only access say they 'often' do this, compared to 52% of those with home access." "Children and parents frequently learn with, and about, technology together, especially in families with the lowest incomes and where parents have less education." "Among parents who did not graduate from high school, 62% say their child has helped them with technology, compared with 45% of parents who graduated from college." "Among families with more than one 6- to 13-year-old and a computer in the home, [...] more than half (53%) of children from the lowest income group (less than $25,000 a year) 'often' help each other learn about computers and technology, compared to 33% of those in the higher-income group ($45,000–65,000 a year)." 10% of Americans Don't use the internet. Who are they? by Pew Research 3 in 10 adults with "less than a high school education" do not use the internet. "Adults from households earning less than $30,000 a year are far more likely than the most affluent adults to not use the internet (18% vs. 2%)." "Seniors are much more likely than younger adults to say they never go online [...] 27% still do not use the internet, compared with fewer than 10% of adults under the age of 65." WHAT IT'S LIKE TO GO ON THE INTERNET FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME - AT AGE 82. by the Washington Post "Seniors who log on tend to be far more educated about their health ; they’re far less isolated and more independent ." "One study out of the University of Michigan suggested that Internet use could cut depression risk among seniors by more than 30 percent — a huge finding, given the wide-ranging effects that depression and isolation have on senior’s health." Millions of U.S. Workers Have "Limited or No Digital Skills" by HR Dive “More than 1 in 10 workers are employed in manufacturing, and one third lack key digital skills." This equals about 5.6 million workers in manufacturing who have low digital skills. “Approximately 1 in 7 American workers is employed in the health and social assistance sector, and one-third lack key digital skills.” This equals about 6.7 million workers in this sector with low digital skills. “Nearly one-third of workers with limited digital skills are younger than 35.” The Digital Edge: Middle-Skill Workers and Careers by Burning Glass Technologies “More than 8 in 10 middle-skill jobs (82%) require digital skills” “Digitally intensive middle-skill jobs pay more than non-digital middle-skill jobs: Baseline digital skills alone pay a 17% premium over non-digital roles.” “Eight in 10 (78%) of middle-skill jobs demand facility with productivity software, and these digital jobs pay a premium over non-digital middle-skill roles. Additionally, productivity software is necessary for upward movement.” Digital Skills & Employment Foundational Skills for Career Progress by Urban Institute “Between 2002 and 2016, the share of all jobs with high digital content more than quadrupled, from 4.8 to 23.0 percent. This reflects both an increase in the digital nature of existing jobs and the addition of new digital jobs.” “Research suggests the demand for jobs requiring digital skills will increase [...] employers will increasingly desire workers with foundational digital skills as the digitization of jobs and tasks increases.” “Many occupations that were previously technology-free, such as janitorial work, now require technology for such basic tasks as checking room assignments and filling out time cards.” “[...] ‘the increased use of electronic job applications makes it difficult for those with low literacy skills to get a job’ [...] Online tools are now the most important resource for many job seekers” Strategies for teaching foundational digital skills: Teach skills in context In-person teaching Match training to people’s needs Access to digital tools Digital Inclusion & Education Nearly one-in-five teens can’t always finish their homework because of the digital divide by Pew Research “Some 15% of U.S. households with school-age children do not have a high-speed internet connection at home” “Roughly one-third of households with children ages 6 to 17 and whose annual income falls below $30,000 a year do not have a high-speed internet connection at home, compared with just 6% of such households earning $75,000 or more a year. These broadband disparities are particularly pronounced for black and Hispanic households with school-age children – especially those with low household incomes.” “17% of teens say they are often or sometimes unable to complete homework assignments because they do not have reliable access to a computer or internet connection.” “24% of teens whose annual family income is less than $30,000 say the lack of a dependable computer or internet connection often or sometimes prohibits them from finishing their homework, but that share drops to 9% among teens who live in households earning $75,000 or more a year.” Advancing Digital Equity and Closing the Homework Gap: The Need to Connect Students at Home by The Consortium for School Networking & Alliance for Excellent Education “Today, roughly seven in ten teachers assign homework that requires access to broadband. But the FCC’s data suggest that almost one in three households do not subscribe to broadband services at any speed.” Parental Involvement in Schools by Child Trends "Students with parents who are involved in their school tend to have fewer behavioral problems and better academic performance, and are more likely to complete high school than students whose parents are not involved in their school." The Numbers Behind the Broadband "Homework Gap" by Pew Research "31.4% of households whose incomes fall below $50,000 and with children ages 6 to 17 do not have a high-speed internet connection at home. [...] By comparison, only 8.4% of households with annual incomes over $50,000 lack a broadband internet connection at home. In other words, low-income homes with children are four times more likely to be without broadband than their middle or upper-income counterparts."

Strategic Plan 2020 Mission Tech Goes Home empowers communities to access and use digital tools to overcome barriers and advance lives. Why TGH? Digital exclusion perpetuates poverty. Without the tools, access, and skills to do homework, navigate online job portals, manage finances, communicate with loved ones, and so much more, it has become incredibly difficult to succeed. And considering the stark demographic inequities in the use of technology, digital inclusion has become a social justice issue of our time. 80% of Fortune 500 companies require online job applications, including major employers such as Walmart and CVS (FCC) 84% of the nation’s K-12 teachers report that digital inequities are growing in their classrooms (Pew Research Center, 2017) 44% of adults with household incomes below $30,000 a year don’t have home broadband services and 46% don’t have a computer (Pew Research Center, 2019) Only 46% of seniors with household incomes below $30,000 say they go online (Pew Research Center 2017) Supporting people to get online and use digital health resources can be crucial to achieving local priorities including: physical and mental wellbeing, prevention, self care, shared care and shared decision making, long term condition management, appropriate use of urgent and emergency care (NHS 2019) TGH addresses these 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 93, prioritizing those without technology, the un/underemployed, immigrants, and people with disabilities. TGH is focused on tackling the entrenched barriers to technology adoption and Internet access. Our school, community, small business, and early childhood initiatives provide an impactful and cost-effective model to help families and participants gain the skills, hardware, and Internet access needed for lifelong success. History Founded in 2000, Tech Goes Home (TGH) is an award-winning 501(c)(3) nonprofit that empowers communities to access and use digital tools to overcome barriers and advance lives. Simply put, TGH helps bring computers, Internet, and training to those without so students can do homework, adults can find jobs and manage finances, and seniors can connect with loved ones. With the help of 350+ partner schools and community sites, TGH has served 35,000+ people in over 2,400 courses and distributed 22,500+ new computers over its tenure. In the past four years, TGH has experienced massive growth, from serving 3,000 people in 2016 to 5,500 in 2019. In 2019 alone, TGH ran 396 courses at nearly 200 community partner sites throughout Greater Boston. 75% of TGH learners had household incomes under $35,000 per year. Nearly half of adult learners were immigrants and 85% were people of color. Program Model The TGH model tackles digital exclusion by providing 15 hours of skills training, a new computer to course graduates for $50, and help finding and securing low-cost, high-quality Internet. Each course is uniquely offered by community leaders, trained by TGH, who come from the communities they serve--as early education or school teachers, community case workers or workforce development coaches, and many other grassroots roles. TGH serves people of all ages: TGH School serves school-age students and their caregivers, TGH Early Childhood serves children 3-6 and their caregivers, TGH Community serves adults and seniors, and TGH Small Business serves micro-entrepreneurs. Board and Staff The TGH Board consists of 13 supporters (38% women, 31% POC) who bring a balanced perspective to leadership decisions. TGH has 8 full-time staff members (72% women, 43% POC) including co-CEOs, four program staff, one operations/finance staff member, and one fundraising staff member. Read our staff bios here . More Information Annual Report Impact Report List of program partners Financials FAQ's Why don’t you use phones instead of computers? 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. Why don’t you use refurbished computers? Providing each learner with the same model of computers makes distribution efficient & affordable and allows us to teach the operating system of our choice across all of our programs. We also respect our learners and want to ensure they graduate with a quality laptop. Why don’t TGH staff conduct the 15 hours? The train-the-trainer model allows us to enlist more than 300 culturally and racially diverse instructors who currently and directly work with the people we serve. This diverse, equitable, and inclusive approach allows us to scale our impact many fold. Why not do an online course? Many of our learners don’t know how to get online, never mind take an online course. That itself is a digital literacy lesson on its own. A small classroom setting allows learners to gain hands-on experience, form peer-to-peer learning relationships, and build a connection with their local schools or community organizations. Doesn’t all your funding come from the City of Boston? We get foundational support from CoB but the demand is far greater than the funding can cover. We continue to grow and diversify funding in order to increase reach and sustainability. Why do you charge $50 for devices? We view the $50 as an investment from our learners. They are investing in their own learning and success in the program. We’ve found that the copay for devices has helped tremendously with our program completion (90% of learners who enroll graduate from TGH). Are you only in Boston schools? No. In addition to schools in Boston, we’re currently serving schools in Cambridge, Chelsea, and Revere. And of course we partner with more than 100 community groups, social service agencies, libraries, municipal agencies, and others. Are you funded by or a part of Boston Public Schools? No on both counts. Although we serve many Boston Public Schools, we are not a part of BPS nor do we receive any funding from Boston Public Schools. Is there a basic TGH curriculum I can look at? Yes. Check out our TGH School and Community curriculum here . How are the four programs the same/different? Check out our program overview here.

Apps provided by TGH Decide on how many TGH picked apps you will go over during a session Which types of apps and in what combination? How much time will you spend on demonstrating? How will you determine how much time will be parents only and parent/child time? How can you keep children busy with a hands-on project while you are working with the adult? It's key for adults to feel confident with the apps so that they know best how to guide the child. 2. Other apps you think are useful. It’s also ok to introduce families to other apps that you think are helpful for the child’s development and learning. Feel free to share your feedback with us about the provided apps, and suggestions for apps to add to the collection. You can include this feedback in your Post-Course-Survey! 3. Introduce topics that help adults support their child’s development and learning The 3 I's Model: Introduce, Interact, Integrate Healthy screen time use Mixing tech with hands-on projects (for example, looking up dinosaurs and then creating a drawing or a sculpture of a dinosaur) Other ways that they can support the child’s learning 4. Content for Adults If you feel you’ve covered enough apps and parent resources, consider integrating some content solely for the adult Do the adults in your course need support learning how to email from the iPad? Connect to family and friends with Facetime or Google Meet? Do the adults want to learn how to search for jobs online? Would it be helpful to show them how to order groceries or prescriptions for delivery?

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. 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

STIPEND & COPAY POLICY CHANGES Over the past year, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tech Goes Home has adapted our policies and programming to better meet the urgent needs of our learners, instructors, and communities. Now, as we look ahead to the longer-term recovery from COVID-19 and the future of TGH, we are making carefully thought out changes to our policies and approaches. We are moving forward with two important policy updates: Update 1: TGH graduates will continue to earn a device and internet at no cost. During the pandemic, TGH began providing both a digital device and one year of high-quality internet free of charge to every learner who needed them. Moving forward, TGH will continue providing devices and internet at no cost as part of our programming. Update 2: Instructor and course assistant stipends will be discontinued effective January 1, 2022 During the pandemic - in recognition of the extraordinary demands placed on our instructors - TGH expanded financial stipends to instructors teaching in all programs. After extensive conversations with instructors, an internal review, and consultation with external experts about how best to support learners and instructors going forward, we have elected to discontinue all instructor and course assistant stipends effective January 1, 2022. This decision will allow us to direct more resources to expanding our programming and providing critical tools for learners, instructors, and course assistants, including: Ensuring that every TGH graduate can continue to earn a device and internet at no cost to them; Expanding our professional development programs for instructors and course assistants; Expanding Tech Goes Home’s courses to reach more learners and more communities; Building a Course Assistant Volunteer program so instructors can have community support in their courses; and Developing recognition programs for instructors and course assistants. Our instructors and course assistants remain at the absolute heart of TGH’s mission. We are so grateful for the time they invest and the lengths they go to in order to serve their learners. These updates will allow us to support them more intentionally and sustainably, while also ensuring that even more learners are able to participate fully in TGH programs and gain the access and skills they need to use telehealth, work from home, participate in school, connect with loved ones, and more online. We are profoundly grateful for the tireless efforts of our learners, instructors, staff, community partners, volunteers, and learners during the past year-plus. COVID-19 revealed the depth of digital inequity to an unprecedented degree, and we’re more committed than ever to strengthening TGH as an organization, so that we can better support our communities and connect more learners with digital devices, internet, and critical skills training. As always, we welcome your feedback so please do not hesitate to reach out to us with ideas on how we can continue to best support TGH partnerships.
