Accelerating the impact of education-focused NGOs
Leveraging technology and training, Team4Tech builds capacity for community-based nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) serving under-resourced contexts worldwide, helping them to improve education that ultimately prepares their learners for better jobs.
Accelerating NGO impact is key to advancing education for high-quality employment
Grassroots-level NGOs are key to impacting educational ecosystems for learners in under-resourced contexts.
Per UNESCO, these community-based organizations employ 28% of the world’s educators, and 350 million learners worldwide rely on these organizations for education. Team4Tech accelerates the impact of these NGOs to create quality educational experiences for more learners.
Team4Tech supports NGO staff with capacity-building programs resulting in engaged learners, effective facilitation, and improved use of technology. Our accelerator programming connects learning to employability skills: a comprehensive skill set including digital, innovation, social-emotional, and cognitive skills necessary for the future.
Team4Tech provides access to:
- funding, specialized training, coaching, and increased visibility
- a global, online Community of Practice
- facilitated regional hubs for localized collaboration
- skilled volunteering support and resource partnerships
Our partner NGOs achieve goals around advancing educator and learner growth, learner engagement, and organizational sustainability and scale. These positive outcomes help NGOs impact their regional educational ecosystems, enabling millions of learners to demonstrate digital readiness, master foundational skills, and prepare for quality employment opportunities.
The support and resources provided by Team4Tech have allowed us to make a real difference in the lives of young people in our community. By providing high-quality training and support through our ICT Training Centre and the digital resources, we are helping to prepare the next generation for success in the digital age. We are truly grateful for the partnership and support of Team4Tech and the positive impact it has had on our organization.”
