GET INVOLVED: Become a CFY School
index

Computers for Youth works directly with public schools to improve the home learning environment of their students.

We begin our

Take IT Home

program with students in the sixth grade—the earliest grade in middle school—and expand it to more senior grades in subsequent years.

CFY uses an application and interview process to select schools that have the following characteristics:
  • Strong leadership and a motivated, enthusiastic staff
  • Commitment to connecting students' in-school and at-home learning and to increasing parent/family involvement
  • 75% or more students eligible for federally subsidized lunch
  • Resources available to support the project

The application deadline for CFY-New York City’s 2008-2009 Take IT Home program was March 26th and we are no longer accepting applications.

Applications for the 2009-2010 school year will be made available in March 2009. If you would like to request an application for the '09-'10 school year please send your school name, address and the principal’s email address to train@cfy.org.
