Community Technology Empowerment Project

If you have basic computer and technology skills, such as how to use email and the Microsoft Office suite, then you have more to teach than you realize. This is because as many as one in five people do not feel comfortable using basic computers and smartphone technology—which is troubling when you consider how much information, resources, and communication is solely online these days. The Community Technology Empowerment Project (CTEP) was founded in order to improve access to digital skills training and technology in the Twin Cities. Our 35 AmeriCorps members teach digital skills at four main types of Twin Cities host sites: 1) libraries, 2) community media centers, 3) employment centers, and 4) schools for adult learners. These sites integrate technology training to help give adults and youth the 21st century digital skills they need to be successful. CTEP is a department of the Saint Paul Neighborhood Network, an organization dedicated to building community through media. SPNN serves as a home base for a tight-knit cohort of 35 AmeriCorps members who meet twice a month for day-long trainings. We take our member support seriously and over 97% of our members successfully complete their year, one of the highest retention rates of any AmeriCorps program in the state. Would you like to make your mark in a dynamic organization dedicated to empowering people to use media and technology to better lives, find employment, create stories and build common understanding? Come join CTEP’s team of creative, dedicated staff and AmeriCorps members in our quest to include as many people as possible in our digital world.
