Held at their Fairview housing, this program serves youth who live in low-income, affordable housing. Many youth have faced unhousing, and don't have access to computers at home. This is Home Forwards 1st on-site program.

The camp will be every Wednesday from Jan 31 - March 31. from 3:30pm - 5pm.

We'll be running a camp where we teach kids to make Games, Stories and Animations. We'll take them through the creative and maker processes, from design to programming in Scratch. No experience or skill with computers is needed.

If you'd like to bring a special experience to children and help teach them skills they can carry for a life time, this is for you. Come help us make a difference and start something very special.
