Supporting Community Media and Technology

The CTC VISTA Project places and supports Americorps*VISTA members within non-profit organizations across the country that utilize information and communications technologies to address the needs of low-income and at-risk communities.

CTC VISTA members work to build the capacity of the individual organizations where they serve and collaborate with other VISTAs on the development of resources, trainings, and related projects. Through their work the Project endeavors to build a network that facilitates collaboration, support, and the sharing of ideas among a diverse group of participating organizations.
