The Digital Access Project was founded in 1998 to help local non-profit organizations provide access + tech literacy progams in underserved communities.
(our history)







The Digital Access Project supports technology access and digital literacy efforts in the Twin Cities.

Projects that have evolved as a result of our efforts include:

CTEP: The Community Technology Empowerment Project, which recruits, trains and places 26 AmeriCorps members at area agencies to support technology literacy efforts.

The Digital Access+Equity Campaign:
Community outreach efforts result in a strong community benefits agreement; review the timeline and history of digital inclusion efforts in Minneapolis related to this initiative!
