YTC is transforming teens, empowering them with the skills necessary for the technology of the 21st century. Enlisting teens as allies, YTC youth improve their skills while donating this technology to their communities. A STEM-based after-school program, students are introduced to technology and engineering principles while learning to refurbish computers. They donate computers and computer instruction in their communities. In a single integrated program youth learn about computers, recycling, and good citizenship through hands-on authentic work.
