This project aims to equip the Boys & Girls Clubs of Canyon County with an up-to-date painted area and technology resources to support academic achievement, digital literacy, and workforce readiness for under served youth. The grant will fund the purchase of paint, laptops, tablets, printers, software licenses, and other necessary tech equipment for a clean and innovative area to enhance learning opportunities for over 400 teens annually.
Many youth in Canyon County face limited access to technology at home, which creates barriers to completing homework, accessing educational tools, and developing skills critical for future success. By providing a modern technology infrastructure within the Club, this initiative will help close the digital divide and empower local youth to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.
The Boys & Girls Clubs will maintain and update the equipment as needed through its annual budget and local fundraising. Club staff will also receive training to effectively integrate new technology into existing programs.
Rotarians will assist with equipment setup and room painting, provide mentorship and digital literacy workshops, and help monitor project impact through periodic assessments.
