Afterschool Tutoring & Computer Program

[Diane Covel]

Programming abounds for sites that are in school settings or other "middle 
class" models.  Ayieko is a site in a low income neighborhood.  We are a 
bridge over the digital divide for adults and youth.  To reach youth 
outside the school setting programming needs to respect their high level 
of self help (survivial) skills and provide autonomy  but include 
mentoring.  To be successful it needs to be on their terms.  I have not 
found much to address this population.
