Community Centers, Inc. (CCI) was responsible to train a minimum of 1,500 South Los Angeles community residents in basic Digital Literacy and facilitate 833 first-time high-speed Internet subscriptions at home. Our organization sought to enlighten the community about technology, Internet, computer availability, affordability, and usage. Our goals were to introduce the Internet as well as technological uses of the Internet and computers and applications to those who were otherwise not previously exposed. Our clients were provided computer access, computer training, and Internet availability on a daily basis. We introduced web-based learning, Microsoft office skills (including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.), social media and networking in order to provoke creative avenues to community and collaborate with others. Through these programs CCI has been able to increase computer and technology literacy in our surrounding community.
