Mission Statement

The AmeriCorps Library Community Technology Initiative strives to bridge the digital divide by assisting teens, adults, and seniors with learning how to use computers, access technological resources, and strengthening our communities by fostering a spirit of volunteerism and service to others. AmeriCorps is a network of national service programs that engage more than 75,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet critical needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment.
