It is committed to the development, use, and open access to the Internet in Liberia. Its work is organized around themes such as building community networks, shaping the Internet, and growing the Internet.

The organization is a chapter-based, membership-oriented body rather than a commercial enterprise. It invites individuals to become members and to participate in its activities.
