Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Aliso Viejo, CA

Total Budget: $5,176

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Literacy

Summary: Nine Computers provided to Boys & Girls Club Aliso Viejo Branch for low income hispanic youth 6 -18 years of age in Aliso Viejo, CA, USA


The purpose of this project is to purchase nine new computers & monitors for the Boys & Girls Club computer lab. The Club is located in Aliso Viejo, CA. The Club's computers are now outdated and not working properly. The members rely on these computers to focus on education, complete homework assignments, research, web designs,computer art, how to be safe on internet, science projects and to become computer literate with the assistance of Boys & Girls Clubs professional, mentors and Rotarians. The majority of the kids and families that we deal with do not have access to a computer at home so they depend on the Boys & Girls Club to provide this unique opportunity to help them navigate their education through computer technology.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Capistrano Valley serves over 2,500 youth in South Orange County from 28 schools and 11 zip codes. Our Alsio Viejo Branch is one of three Branches under our umbrella with the other two Branches in San Juan Capistrano and Rancho Santa Margarita. Our formula for impact on our members focuses on academic success, good character & citizenship and healthy lifestyles.

The timeline for our project is October 14 - November 1, 2013.

The MBSR members will be involved in purchasing the computers, helping in the installation of the computers on site, involved in presenting the "most accomplish computer student" of the month award on a continued basis, present a monthly award to students and will donate time for instruction. Rotarians will also make the presentation of the computers to the Aliso Viejo Boys & Girls Club.
