| Our mission:
The Computer Clubhouse provides a creative and safe after-school
learning environment where young people from underserved communities
work with adult mentors to explore their own ideas, develop skills,
and build confidence in themselves through the use of technology.
Using the "original" Clubhouse as a model, the Computer Clubhouse
Network supports community-based Clubhouses around the world, providing
thousands of youth with access to resources, skills, and experiences
to help them succeed in their careers, contribute to their communities,
and lead outstanding lives.
Who we are:
The Computer Clubhouse was founded in 1993 by The Computer Museum
(now part of the Museum of Science)
in collaboration with the MIT
Media Lab. The Clubhouse is there for its members - youth ages
10 to 18 from different communities in Boston and other underserved
neighborhoods. Members work closely with adult mentors: students
and professionals in fields such as art, science, education or technology
who share their experience and serve as role models.

Disappointed that you can't join us because you live too far
away? New Computer Clubhouses are still being launched in many
communities with the support of Intel Corporation and other
partners. At the current time eligible community organizations
are in selected geographies only, but watch this Web site for
future developments.
