Partnerships Program

CTN is a resource for all San Francisco Bay Area community-based organizations working to advance digital literacy.  Through its Partnerships Program, CTN supports organizations in developing their capacity to deliver sustainable, quality digital inclusion programs at public access computer centers.

All CTN services provided through the Partnerships Program are FREE!

If your computer center could benefit from joining the Program, contact Lorna Walsh, Partnerships Manager (lorna@ctnbayarea.org)

Partnership Application

Step 1:  Organizations apply to become a Partner by completing a CTN Partner Survey, a simple online form that helps us understand your computer center.

Step 2:  This Survey is reviewed by CTN’s Partnerships Manager and applicants will be contacted for a follow up phone interview or site visit.

Step 3:  If appropriate, a bespoke Partnership Agreement containing a Development Plan (based on the Survey responses) will be drawn up and signed by both CTN and the applicant.
