A Youth Technology Lab and Homework Center are available for youth. The programs are designed to help children and youth develop to their full potential by increasing technology literacy and skills, strengthen their homework ability, and increase participation in youth sponsorship opportunities and to learn how to use the Internet in a positive manner. Specific program learning objectives are targeted through the use of appropriate software and web exploration. During the school year, children can use the lab to do research on the Internet, type school papers, or run educational programs. A technology lab instructor and/or trained staff are designated to coordinate and facilitate the operations of the youth technology lab (YTL).
