Beyond organizational support, we invest in the next generation of IT professionals through our ITWorks program, an award‑winning 16‑week training experience that prepares young urban adults for entry‑level careers in information technology.

As technology continues to transform how nonprofits and small businesses operate, the opportunities for impact are greater than ever. Diversified Community Technology Center is committed to ensuring that every organization and individual we serve can harness these opportunities to strengthen their mission, expand their reach, and create lasting change in their communities.
Our History
Diversified Community Technology Center was established with foundational support from Microsoft, TechSoup, and Dell, whose nonprofit technology initiatives helped launch our mission to expand digital access and opportunity in Minnesota. Their early investment provided the tools, resources, and infrastructure needed to begin serving economically disadvantaged individuals, small businesses, and community organizations.
From the beginning, our organization has been structured exclusively for charitable, educational, and literacy purposes and operates under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. This designation reflects our commitment to public service and ensures that our work directly benefits the communities we serve. As a federally recognized nonprofit, we are also able to support and collaborate with other qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations, strengthening the broader ecosystem of community impact.
What began as a technology‑support initiative has grown into a comprehensive community resource—offering digital literacy training, technical support services, and workforce development programs that help individuals and organizations thrive in an increasingly digital world. Our history is rooted in partnership, equity, and a shared belief that access to technology is essential for economic mobility and long‑term community success.
