1996 - ConneCT ’96 Launched

Launched ConneCT ’96, under the leadership of (now Congressman) John Larson, recruiting 4,000 Connecticut volunteers to help wire Connecticut’s public schools and libraries for Internet access over an eight month period. Launched first website, CTKidslink, with the help of a grant from Graustein Memorial Fund, the first foundation to support our work. Helped found Camp Totokett, a summer camp run primarily by volunteers for children living in families with HIVAIDS. Prepared series of reports exploring implications of state’s transition to managed care in Medicaid, and its plans to “reform” welfare.
