Community Impact Team
The 16 Tech Community Impact Team (CIT) is a group of liaisons who will collaborate with 16 Tech staff to meaningfully engage surrounding residents. The CIT will actively connect during six months of the calendar year to identify opportunities for alignment and positive impact. As bridges between 16 Tech staff and fellow neighbors, the CIT will listen in civic meetings and other gatherings for how 16 Tech might purposefully engage locally. This exchange of information will help shape community outreach initiatives in the 16 Tech Innovation District.
