Computers For Youth

Our nation is failing to supply low-income kids the support they need during the critical middle school years. As a result, test scores are dropping sharply between the 5th and 6th grades. School-based efforts to address this challenge have fallen short. Kids spend only 13% of their waking hours in the classroom. CFY provides an innovative solution with proven results. We improve student achievement by enhancing the educational resources available in kids's homes, by improving parent-child interaction around learning, and by helping teachers make powerful links between the classroom and the home.
