CTCNet
CTCNet is a network of more than 1000 community technology centers where
people in low-income communities gain access to computers and computer-related
technology, such as the Internet. For more than ten years, CTCNet's mission
has been to support community technology centers so that they can better
serve their constituencies.
The organization was founded in 1990, as the Playing to Win Network, by Antonia
Stone, a former public school teacher who during the early 1980s had started
a computer technology center in the basement of a housing development in
Harlem. In the early 1990s, Ms. Stone cooperated with EDC in an application
to the National Science Foundation (NSF), which resulted in a five-year ($1.9
million) grant to support the extension of the network's services, the expansion
of its membership and its evolution into an independent, self-governing nonprofit
organization. The grant also supported the sustained, professional evaluation
of the Network and its affiliates. At the start of the grant the organization's
name was changed to the Community Technology Centers' Network (CTCNet). Consistent
with its NSF grant goals, CTCNet has now incorporated in Massachusetts as
a non-profit, tax-exempt organization with a board of directors representing
its affiliate organizations.
Intermediary Network
CATF is a member organization of The Intermediary network, a national association
of leading education and workforce development organizations working in local
communities to ensure the success of youth. Network members connect schools,
communities and employers to improve education and build a future workforce.
Members also convene local organizations doing similar work to maximize resources
and effort.
