Soulciety has just received a City of Hayward grant!
by Ron Carino
The City of Hayward has just awarded Soulciety a $40k grant for our computer refurbishing program! The program trains system-involved young adults between the ages of 18-24 to refurbish computers and provides an entry point for a career in the technology sector. Hundreds of used and refurbished computers will also be donated to low-income, system-involved youth and young adults.
In July 2016, Soulciety received innovation funds in the amount of $13k from Alameda County Social Services Agency for our computer refurbishing program. These two grants will help to bring computer education to low-income communities in southern Alameda County.
Want to support our program? Soulciety is in need of used computers! If you know of a business that may be getting rid of their computers, please send us their contact info! For more information on our computer refurbishing and donation program, you can email program coordinator Pablo Dela Cruz at [email protected] or check out our website at http://soulciety.org/donate-computers/.
