CTEP typically partners with non-profits, libraries, community centers, and out-of-school time programs who work with our target populations: New Americans, low-income families, or individuals who have physical or mental disabilities. We do not traditionally partner with for-profit organizations or schools. The partner ideally should already have some technology literacy programming, or at least ideas on how this programming could be expanded through the efforts of a CTEP AmeriCorps member.We hope that sites have aspirations for being partners with CTEP for more than one year. Many capacity building initiatives that we hope that CTEP AmeriCorps members initiate may take longer than one service year to implement. CTEP AmeriCorps, like any other AmeriCorps program, is not designed to be a long term solution to building capacity or providing direct service at your site. AmeriCorps members are not meant to serve or replace crucial staff roles, but instead build the capacity of organizations and start new programming that should eventually be run by the organizations without the assistance of AmeriCorps.
