The Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Illinois says they have received a 22 thousand dollar grant from Comcast to support digital skills training and STEM programs for club members.
The new programs will be housed in the club’s Lift Zone, at 300 S. 15th St., a WiFi-enabled safe space where club members can access the Internet, do schoolwork and build digital skills.
The BGCCIL Lift Zone is one of more than 1,000 Lift Zones throughout the country, with nearly 80 in this region alone.
