PCs for Families

The PCs For Families program is directed at reducing the 'digital divide' in Racine County. The 'digital divide' describes the gap between people who have access to technology and those who don't.  PCs For Families strikes at the heart of this divide by placing personal computer systems into the homes of qualifying families. Placing refurbished computers into the homes of families who don't have the financial means to purchase a computer not only enhances the childrens education but it will also allow the parents to become part of the electronic world.  In addition to providing the families with technology, they receive basic computer skills training and technical support for the computer systems.

 

PCs for Employees.

The PCs For Employees program is directed at reducing the 'digital divide' in Racine County. PCs For Employees strikes at the heart of this 'divide' by placing personal computer systems into the homes of qualifying employees.
