Program History:
Since 1996, Technology Access Foundation (TAF) has helped children develop the academic skills that are vital for success in a technology-driven global economy. Through free afterschool programs and the new TAF Academy model, we are building a bridge across the achievement gap and changing lives through technology education.
Additional Information:
All of our endeavors are guided by the following principles. These core philosophical beliefs determine the way we approach our work and articulate our priorities.
1. Technology and Life Skills
Technology skills are as important as reading, writing, and arithmetic. They are building blocks for the future. While specific technologies change over time, the need for solid life skills remains constant and is a critical element to success.
2. Access to Opportunity
Skills are best used when opportunity presents itself. We create educational and employment opportunities for our students while giving them the tools to take advantage of those opportunities.
3. Strategic and Collaborative Leadership & Partnerships
We strive to take a leadership role in preparing our students for the future. However, we also understand that leaders can only be effective when there is a collaboration of ideas with others invested in the quest.
4. Fiscal Responsibility and Sound Business Ethics
We conduct our business with integrity and fiscal responsibility.
5. Continuous Improvement and Learning
No matter how successful we may be, there is always room to learn more and improve. We strive to continually improve our internal structure, training methods, and curriculum in order to give our students the best educational experience possible.
