Technology and children are two important missions for ATRC and now, ATRC will be able to incorporate both in our latest partnership with Computers for Youth (CFY). CFY is a national educational non-profit organization launched in 1999 that is dedicated to improving the home learning environment of low-income school children. “As a part of CFY's Affiliate Network, ATRC will benefit from CFY’s knowledge and experience in improving the home learning environment of low-income children,” said ATRC’s executive director Barbara Fischlowitz-Leong. “CYF sought our organization because they wanted to expand their outreach to children with disabilities and we have the resources to do so. The benefits to Hawaii’s children will be outstanding.” 

The Affiliate Network provides members with the products and services to more efficiently implement their programs while increasing the depth of services offered to their constituencies.  CFY partners with schools to improve the educational resources available in children's homes, enhance parent-child interaction around learning and help teachers make powerful links between the classroom and the home.
