Welcome to
The Manhattan North Training Project
A Technology Collaboration Created by NYCHA Residents and Community 501c3 Organizations
We developed the Manhattan North Training Project to help our community. We recognize the lack of true economic opportunity as practiced by most of our culture.
The Internet doesn't work that way - it promotes teamwork and communication at its core
So here we are - Say the whole name ...
MANHATTAN NORTH TRAINING PROJECT!
Community Streaming Radio Stations
Every Development should have their own Streaming Studio and Communications Center to connect with their residents and the world.
Our Cooperative Membership Model
The Manhattan North District Council of Presidents (MNDCOP) is a not-for-profit organization that includes 40 NYCHA Resident Associations throughout Harlem and Northern Manhattan, representing a population of over 55,000 residents.
MNDCOP created the Manhattan Training Project with The Smart Community Initiative, a 501c3 technology company, that works cooperatively with our Resident Associations and other community-based not-for-profits to bring true community-ownership and control of the technology services in our neighborhoods.
And as important as Internet access is, it the quality-of-life services and applications that we have developed that bring real value to our technology platforms. This includes our emergency communications network, our streaming radio stations, our
Virtual Tenant Patrol, our air quality monitoring program and more.
