We have developed many opportunities for all our clients.
This program combines the love of art & computers. Students create works of art
using GIMP & MS Paint. Once completed the art work will hang in our art
gallery and be featured on our on-line gallery. Great for any artistic
skill level, however preferable if basic skills completed first.
The Tutor Assisted program provides one-on-one computer training at the
participants pace. Individuals are matched to a qualified volunteer tutor
who will provide one-on-one goal oriented computer training for a
minimum of one hour per week. We offer a range of training from basic
skills to MS Office and Internet to Web design and programming. We even
custom design training programs to suit individual needs.
The Support Worker Assisted program focuses on educational and recreational
software and allows individuals to work on a computer along with their
Support Worker, family member, or friend.
