DECEMBER 5, 2012- Two local organizations are giving back to kids in need... one click of a mouse at a time.

Clara Ward, the Founder of the Youth Development Center and Carlie and Anna Maynard partnered up for an after school computer program.

The program is held four days a week at the Youth Development Center from 4-6 p.m.

The goal is to give inner city children the chance to learn how to use computers to better their future.

Computers were donated by Gannon University and the ABC network.

There is also a need for more volunteers as well as the need for printers.

If you want to help out, contact the Youth Development Center at 814-456-7199.
