[YL] Announcing the Connections for All program from CTCNet!

[Stephen Quinn]

CTCNet is pleased to announce our new Connections for All (C4All) program! 

A great way for community technology centers (CTCs) to expand services to
people with disabilities is by implementing assistive technologies.  But did
you know that enhancing your organization's accessibility can help you
better meet the needs of everyone you serve?

C4All aims to enhance the capacity of CTCs to serve people with a broad
range of abilities by offering training and funding opportunities in support
of inclusive design.  Funded by a grant from AT&T, this project is a
collaboration between CTCNet and the Alliance for Technology Access (ATA).

Organizations can participate in C4All in a number of different ways:

.	Attending one of the 10 C4All Accessibility Institutes across the
country this November, December, and January; 

.	Winning one of the $1000 AccessNow Awards that will be given at the
Institutes;

.	Applying for a $20,000 Accessibility Grant (Institute participation
required); and

.	Tapping into online resources for assessing and enhancing CTC
accessibility.
