FFY invites you to check out new digital lab

Foundation For Youth is inviting you to celebrate its new Comcast Digital Lab with an open house next week.

Brittany Gray, spokeswoman for the FFY, says the open house is Thursday, Nov. 9th from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. She explains that the open house will offer the opportunity for you to see the new lab, which is the result of a $4,900 donation from Comcast. The lab features 10 computers, photography equipment, and various software.

“As a leading technology company, we understand how important high-speed internet access is. We know that exposure to a high-speed network helps prepare students for higher education and the jobs of the future,” said Matt Kelley, Sr. Manager for Comcast. “The Foundation for Youth’s computer lab will give kids, who might not otherwise have internet access, a safe place to learn valuable skills.”

Boys & Girls Club Director, Nathan Larrison added, “The new Comcast Digital Lab will enable the nearly 200 children who participate in Boys & Girls Club daily to explore coding, digital arts, photography, and music making, as well as educational resources.”

This open house will also include refreshments.
