About Chapters

We have received many requests from individuals to expand Technocademy and open local chapters of the organizations. After growing to a national level and releasing many new projects, we feel we now are in a strong position to increase our scope and fulfill our mission.

Chapters are extensions of Technocademy, Inc. They are still under the control of the national Technocademy headquarters in Atlanta, but have the flexibility needed to thrive in the varying conditions of local environments. Ideally, chapters will be run by motivated individuals who are looking to commit to a long-term management of a local chapter. Chapters will organize 1-on-1 and group lessons in the local region. Impacted seniors and veterans will also be directed to Technocademy's website for access to online resources. Chapters will be able to use all of Technocademy's resources and content to conduct lessons.
