C-CAN Team

C-CAN (the Community Computer Access Network) is a regional coalition of public and private agencies that aim to bridge the Digital Divide by providing public access to computers, the Internet, and related training. There are probably about 100 such agencies in the Twin Cities alone. This volunteer team works to develop the C-CAN so that these agencies can share the resources they have, and to provide them with additional shared resources they could not tap into alone. See also the Development Committee and Promotion Committee.
