A little about the grant:
“PNG programs encourage personal growth and the educational development of at-risk middle to high school students through the use of mentors, technology and library based group projects. The goal of PNG is to bridge the digital divide by making recent technologies accessible to students who have limited access to computers. In a similar manner, the program strives to provide positive role models and offers a safe and friendly environment . The mentors involved with the program foster the development of self-confidence and pride in their students by helping them gain the knowledge and skills necessary for future educational and professional success.”
Funding for Project Next Generation is provided by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Secretary of State/Illinois State Library under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA).
