Community Technology Centers: A National Movement to Close the Digital
Divide

A 2000 report from the Children's Partnership concluded, "It is as
important to create useful content on the Internet -- material and
applications that serve the needs and interest of millions of low-income
users and underserved Internet users -- as it is to provide computers and
Internet connections." This article offers examples of how Community
Technology Centers (CTCs) are providing young people in underserved
communities with both technology access and the skills to become their own
content creators.
