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. VOLUNTEER Join the fight for digital equity by volunteering with TGH! Who are we? At Tech Goes Home, we help 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 and lead healthy lives. Our program includes 15 hours of digital skills training, a new computer to take home, and for learners who lack home internet, a year-long internet subscription. This summer we’ve navigated changes across our work and deliberated on ongoing volunteer needs. Incredible volunteers have grown our digital resource library to include hundreds of tutorials, webinars and translated materials. Unfortunately, we need to pause additional content creation in order to review current educational resources and transition platforms, as well as organize internal capacity to launch future engagement opportunities. We hope to share more information about how to get involved in the coming weeks! Please stay tuned. Interested in volunteering as a group or with your company? Please reach out to volunteer@techgoeshome.org for more information. FAQ Anchor 1 What is Tech Goes Home?
