Karacomm

"Karen has an uncanny ability to bring diverse groups and organizations together for a common good. Individuals and organizations that might otherwise have been working at cross purposes, duplicating efforts, or even competing against one another, instead, with Karen's guidance, came together in such a way as to complement each other; matching needs in one area with strengths in another, for the ultimate benefit of the community.

Karen took to Olney as if she'd been born and raised here. She was able to discern almost as if by instinct the needs of our neighborhoods, and then to mobilize those organizations best positioned to fill those needs. Karen was an active and energetic one-person liaison between large city agencies and small local organizations, all for the ultimate (and worthy) goal of urban 'digital inclusion.'"
- Wayne Lutz, Executive Director, Tech Access., PA
Digital inclusion is insuring that every interested resident has access to Information and Computing in the home, with the motivation and confidence to use these technologies to improve and enrich their lives.

Our Philosophy

By leveraging best practices from leading communities around the country and collaborating with local stakeholders, Karacomm develops programs that truly capture the opportunities presented by broadband access and information services:

  • The opportunity to create positive outcomes across your community
  • The opportunity to strengthen existing non-profits and community-based organizations
  • The opportunity to strengthen and expand learning communities
  • The opportunity to spur economic development
  • The opportunity to support individuals in using their own voice and reaching life goals.

Karacomm programs are always a reflection of the community served and are designed to create sustainable structures that scale to bridge the digital divide and enhance community.

Our Mission

Karacomm works with cities, states, nonprofit organizations, business and foundations to establish comprehensive Digital Inclusion policies and programs to extend the benefits of technology to underserved residents and communities.
