Goals:

2. To allow residents to complete resumes, on-line job applications, look for housing, and other services needed for their success ‘on the outs’.
3. Allow volunteers to start up Vocational Training classes such as: computer programming, coding, computer repair, graphic design, and Photoshop workshops.
