Vision

We see a Georgia where everyone who chooses can personally receive the benefit of information technology.

  • All recognize the value
  • Devices are as accessible as personal entertainment devices and telephones
  • Useful and relevant content and services are available to all in their homes

Mission

TCGa’s mission is to promote “Digital Inclusion” for the residents, teachers, students and entrepreneurs of Georgia’s low-income and otherwise under-served communities, and to advocate for the use of technology in promoting self-sufficiency and economic resiliency.

  1. Prevent educational gaps by helping all students have a higher quality computer use in schools and access in the home
  2. Promote family self-reliance and economic resiliency by ensuring all adults can effectively use and have access to personal information technology in their homes
  3. Promote the creation and sustenance of community based service and support infrastructure in all communities
  4. Advocate for effective educational and governmental services that utilize the web and personal information technology
  5. Attract mainstream IT providers to under-served areas
    The mission is accomplished by providing affordable greater access to the technology tools and resources needed to compete in the post secondary schools, workforces and markets of today and the future.
