Community technology center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A community technology center or CTC offers resources to help bridge the digital divide, primarily through public access to computers and the internet. In addition, it may provide training that ranges from basic computing skills to digital media production. While some CTCs are freestanding operations, many others are located in public libraries, schools, social service agencies, neighborhood centers, and religious centers.
In the United States, more than 1,000 community technology centers are organized under the leadership of CTCnet, a nonprofit association headquartered in Washington, D.C. CTCs are also organized under the banner of state organizations, such as the Ohio Community Computing Network.
