  1. Providing citizens of Boston with training, hardware and if qualified, low cost access. TGH offers residents the ability to improve their quality of life as new members of the online community.

  2. Data • 8547 individuals trained • 70 school training sites • 60 community sites (Centers of Youth and Families, Timothy Smith Network, Housing Authority, Public Libraries) • 70% of household incomes under $25K • Pre-survey 66% have access. • 1 year later 90% have access. • 44% say TGH helped them find a job or improved advancement opportunities in their current job • 50% speak a language other than English

  3. What we learned: • Having the training in the neighborhood makes all the difference. • Word of mouth is more important than marketing. • New netbooks/tablets are a great choice. • It is very hard to sign up for Internet Essentials, most of our folks pay full price for access.

  4. What we learned: • Helping folks see that they could save money with access is an important part of understanding the relevance of getting on line. • It is all about the relationships that are built.
