Youth Corners leaders told us that most of the participants had no training in computer use.  These young men developed, as volunteers, a computer training program for select members of each of the Youth Corners.  The Grant began funding this wildly successful training. 

Self Help Group members saw computer skills as helpful to them and requested that they too be included in the training.  In three years, over 1300 participants received basic computer training and had access to the computers to practice their skills.

Graduation is a family affair.  Caps and gowns and photos make it special.
