SENATOR ED MARKEY & TGH CO-CEOS PUBLISH OP-ED |
|
Last month, Senator Ed Markey and TGH Co-CEOs Dan Noyes & Theo Hanna co-authored an op-ed in CommonWealth Magazine highlighting the urgency for comprehensive, inclusive solutions to close the digital divide. They wrote that advocates and policymakers must work hand-in-hand with communities to expand digital access. Read the full op-ed here. |

Tech Goes Home is excited to welcome five new members to our team, who will be critical to strengthening our programs and deepening our impact as TGH grows.
Chloe Jean and Madison Martin join the team as Coordinators of Program Operations. They support the implementation of TGH programs, from managing device distribution to onboarding new instructors and providing direct instructor support throughout the courses. Jaslin Tifiano, our new Coordinator of Program Support, organizes our online resource library, manages our personal and professional development webinars, and connects learners to our community.
We also welcome John Jones, who serves as TGH’s first-ever Director of Operations. John comes to TGH with a strong background in accounting and finance. At TGH, he is applying that expertise to manage budgeting and finance for our rapidly growing organization. John’s role also includes HR and systems management for our expanding team.
Sangha Kang-Le, our first-ever Assistant Manager of Advocacy, joins the team at a time when TGH is increasingly taking on a leading role in the advocacy space. Sangha works with our Chief Advocacy Officer to influence policy to address digital inequity on a systemic level.
With these new team members on board, we are excited to grow the impact and reach of our digital equity work!

TGH & PARTNER MACIR FEATURED ON WCVB |
|
Earlier this month, Tech Goes Home and our partner MACIR were highlighted on WCVB's 5 for Good segment. The piece spotlights our partnership with MACIR Career Center, which offers our Tech Goes Home digital inclusion programming in tandem with its job training program that prepares students to launch careers as IT professionals.
In addition to hosting Tech Goes Home courses at their site, MACIR also accepts donated computers. MACIR's IT students repair the computers as part of their training, and then they donate the refurbished computers to create community computer labs.
