The Technology Undivided Project aims to bridge the Digital Divide by training young people to use information technology, train others in technology, and increase access to technology in our community and abroad. These programs empower youth through technology-related expos and skill building in computer refurbishment, digital video editing, audio mixing and website design. The Technology Undivided Project runs two Community Technology Center Network (CTCNet) Labs, has set up four other labs in the area and has donated computers to dozens of individual families and schools in 5 foreign countries.
