Technology For Youth

Comment on this project

The Idea:

What will change in the world because this Project happens?

Under the Youth Leadership program, Technology for Youth aims to close the gap in terms of education and opportunities. In areas where 50% of families do not own a personal computer in their homes, we hope that by establishing a computer center for youths in our community and utilizing educational software this would enhance learning and youth interest in technology.

What information will people interact with to make this change?

This service is simply added to the present program. There is no extra charge, only the parent's participation and input in their child's academics.

What else have you done in this Cause Area?

Besides providing an after-school program that focuses on homework assistance and life skill lessons, Hosanna offers family mentoring, anti-violence summer camp, and volunteer activities in the community.

The Assessment

What kind of help or resources do you need to turn your project idea into a completed mashup?

In order to reach the goals for this program, we need to purchase computers and software. Our organization chose to use the statisticallyproven Kaplan Curriculum fo reducational enhacements (reading, math, science), LifeSkills improve socila competencies, and Brief Strategic Family Therapy addressing family dysfunction.
