Flagship Municipal Proof

The City of South Fulton pilot

Two community cohorts delivered with the Parks & Recreation Department, covering practical smartphone, email, video-call, online-safety, app, and city-service learning — with assessment before and after.

Program formats

Shaped around the partner's venue, schedule, and population rather than a fixed package.

Single workshops

A focused session on one topic, useful for testing appetite before committing to a series.

Structured cohorts

A group meeting over several weeks, working through practical digital life skills at a consistent pace.

Multi-session initiatives

A longer community campaign combining cohorts with open sessions and continued access.

Community events

Program moments designed to reach residents who would not enroll in a class — including walk-up and event formats.

Continued app access

Access to step-by-step classes after the sessions end, so a skill learned in week two is reachable in month six.

Continued support

Ask Chet for the questions that surface later, when the room and the instructor are gone.

The implementation model

The same six-stage cycle that runs through the whole ecosystem, applied to a specific community.

  1. Step 1: Understand

    PARLEN helps identify where people stand, where digital-confidence barriers exist, and what skills need attention.

  2. Step 2: Teach

    Talk Tech With Chet delivers practical, step-by-step digital skills people can use in everyday life.

  3. Step 3: Support

    Ask Chet extends help beyond the classroom with approachable, on-demand support for everyday technology questions.

  4. Step 4: Protect

    180Angles helps people recognize scams, check suspicious situations, understand manipulation tactics, and take safer next steps.

  5. Step 5: Measure Again

    PARLEN measures progress after instruction and support so individuals and organizations can see what changed and where additional help may be needed.

  6. Step 6: Improve

    What we learn feeds back into the next cycle of teaching, support, protection, and community programming.

Outcomes and reporting

Every program ends in a written report. What that report can honestly say is agreed before the program starts, not after the results are in.

Let's talk about your community.

The most useful first conversation is about the people you serve and what would make a program worth running — not about what we sell.
