Connect Your Community

Cleveland, Ohio

Connect Your Community is a nonprofit organization, based in Cleveland, working to to develop sustainable strategies to help disconnected people and communities to overcome their “digital exclusion” and join the digital mainstream.

Between 2010 and 2013, CYC and many of our community partners were part of a groundbreaking Federally-funded “sustainable broadband adoption” effort called the Connect Your Community Project, anchored by nonprofit broadband provider OneCommunity. With those Federal funds (from the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program) we were able to recruit, train and equip more than 13,000 Greater Cleveland and Detroit residents to connect to the Internet and use it to make their lives better. – CYC’s website
