Mission:
Computers for Youth helps low-income children do better in school by improving their learning environment at home. Our signature program selects high-poverty middle schools and then offers all sixth-grade families both a home computer loaded with educational software and training designed to help parents become more effective learning partners. Studies confirm that CFY’s programs have significantly improved students’ test scores and class effort and have increased parents’ confidence and involvement. Since beginning operations in 1999, we have reached more than 39,000 students and parents from 50+ schools in New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Los Angeles. We are now working on building a “home learning environment” sector, including extending our affiliate network to all 50 U.S. states and working to influence national education policy.
