Our Mission Statement

 To provide access to computer technology, assist in the dissemination of computer equipment and provide job-marketable training for the Information Technology  field. To create community technology access centers nationwide that will be hubs of social interaction, empowerment and employment opportunities.
The Appleseed Project will bring high technology to your neighborhoods --bringing grandparents together with children, mothers to the career-place and youngsters to a place of empowerment. 

The Appleseed Project is an opportunity for us, as a Nation, to recreate our communities.

Role-Models

 One Single Human Being, awakened to the Ultimate reality of his own life, will create a similar awakening in another human being...from Sanskrit Proverb

The Appleseed Project is inspired from the great example of the 300+ plus Commmunity Technology Access Centers nationwide--a living example of the "Each One-Teach One" philosophy in action is the Plugged-In CTC in East Palo Alto, California.

The Community Technology Center Network (CTCNET)  is a consortium of 300+ organizations who have come together to promote the development of CTACs nationwide. Visit their site and see how we grow!
