Computers4Kids is a non-profit after-school technology mentoring program for disadvantaged youth. The organization strives to improve low income youth's computer and learning skills through caring mentorship, structured training, a vibrant learning environment, and access to a computer at home. The program uses computers as a catalyst for youth to challenge themselves, become engaged in their own learning, and realize greater possibilities academically, professionally, and for their community.
The program celebrated its 10th anniversary in September 2011. [1]
