Tech Goes Home collaborates with community partners to advance digital equity
Our Programs
Tech Goes Home programs serve people of all ages, with courses geared towards families, adults, entrepreneurs, older adults, and more. We bring computers, internet, and training to families and individuals throughout Massachusetts so students can do homework, adults can find jobs and manage finances, seniors can connect with loved ones, and all can lead healthy lives.
We offer programs for adults, as well as family-based intergenerational programs. TGH’s family-based programs engage youth and their caregivers together to learn digital skills as a team. Each family or individual who participates in our programs completes 15 hours of live, interactive digital skills training, earning a Chromebook or iPad, and, if needed, 12 months of internet services.

About Tech Goes Home
Who We Are
Founded in 2000, Tech Goes Home (TGH) empowers communities to access and use digital tools to overcome barriers and advance lives. Our programs focus on serving people and communities who face systemic barriers to technology adoption.
In the past five years alone, 21,000 learners have graduated from TGH programs, and we have distributed more than 15,000 new computers in communities across Eastern Massachusetts.
Our Impact
We measure success by the digital life skills, computers, and internet access that graduates gain through participating in the TGH program, and the extent to which they feel empowered to apply those skills and tools to improve their lives in whatever way will benefit them most. Last year:
1,770+
graduates used their TGH device and digital skills to access telehealth appointments
980+
students are using their TGH device multiple times a week for learning
2,260+
graduates got a job, got a pay raise, entered a work training program, or started a business since participating in TGH
