In
partnership with the DC Housing Authority the Community Technology
Center is creating technology centers at two public housing
sites, Garfield Terrace and Park Morton. These centers have
one purpose: to help public housing residents become more
self-sufficient.
Our
neighborhood networks are comprehensive learning centers
that serve the full spectrum of public housing
residents. Children
use technology in an after-school setting to explore ideas
and improve academic achievement. Families use online training
to
increase their financial literacy. Job seekers are trained
in information and communications technology to upgrade their
marketable
skills. Seniors learn how to use the internet to research their
health or access government services.
The
HUCUP Community Technology Center works with a host of partners
to test new ideas in
service to low-income communities
in the
Washington Metropolitan area. We are always interested to
establish practical partnerships with committed and talented
organizations.
We work with volunteers, students, parents, academics, schools,
churches, and non-profit organizations. If you or your organization
is interested in working with us to make technology work
for grass-roots communities, write to:
