Project Focus:

In this project, Aaron Fisher outlines several areas of service which can be significantly enhanced by adding a technology component to the program's offerings.

He begins by briefly describing how to implement a youth technology education program which focuses on the following subjects: hardware (parts of the computer), computer navigation, and email. Following this, he describes how Central City Community Outreach created a volunteer database, which contains contact information for all their volunteers in a form which can easily be used to create an email distribution list.
