Computer Literacy Program Expanding

Computer literacy is an essential part of our world. Our present as well as our future. Whether you want to increase your career choices, keep current on technology, or if you just want to communicate with family and friends via the internet - a computer is critical to 21st century life.

Residents interested in becoming computer literate as well as residents looking to enhance their computer skills now will be provided the opportunity to do just that through the recently expanded computer training program.

A joint effort by the Community Supportive Services Program (CSSP) and the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA), the new, fully staffed computer training hub with 10 -15 computers is scheduled to open in April at the Frederick Douglas Recreation Center, located at 1886 Frederick Douglas Court S.E.

DCHA's Mr. Omari Monteilh, Manager of the Neighborhood Network Center (NNC), is overseeing development of the facility. He says the purpose is to "teach (clients) how to use computers to improve their job marketability, job performance, and overall lifestyle." Ultimately, Mr. Monteilh says "We're trying to…develop a wireless community so that all residents will have access to the internet from their homes."
