“Computers4kids (c4k) is a non-profit after-school program. C4k strives to empower low income youth by bringing together technology and imagination through supportive mentoring, youth-driven programming, and skill building for life success. C4k provides a creative and safe out-of-school learning environment where local low-income middle and high school youth work with volunteer mentors and staff to build college and work readiness skills. At c4k young people explore their own ideas, build skills, and gain confidence in themselves through positive relationships, the mastery of technology, and the opportunity to get a free laptop with lifetime support.”

“Volunteers have three options: 1) one-to-one mentoring - working one-to-one with a youth to help them express themselves through technology while building a positive connection 2) group mentoring - working with small groups of youth to help them build skills and spark new interests for college and career success 3) refurbishing - readying our donated computer equipment for distribution to a deserving youth.”

“230 youth members participated in c4k programming this year. C4k offered 120 unique camp and workshop sessions including, build a pc, clubhouse to career/college speaker series, code academy, and tech girls. All sessions focused on digital skills and college/career readiness. 33 of 34 (97%) c4k grants and high school seniors graduated from high school. 86% of high school seniors who were active with c4k clubhouse this year plan to attend college. 74 members spent 1,137 hours meeting one-to-one with community mentors.”
