ITEA-SRITS is an innovative non-profit organisation based in St. Martin with a sister organisation ITEA Group in Pennsylvania. ITEA SRITS offers programmes that use technology to enhance education, human services, workforce training, civic engagement and community development.
The programmes are designed to close achievement gaps and increase residents’ capacity to learn, develop their skills and recognise their talents, all while promoting self-sufficiency and increasing participation in community and civic affairs.
