| The East Side Village Community
Learning Center (ESVCLC) was chosen as the Technology For All-Houston
“Community Technology Center of the Year” for 2002. Community
Technology Centers (CTCs) are public spaces in underserved communities
where computers and educational opportunities are provided to the community.
CTCs serve an important role in many communities by bringing technology
and the opportunities it provides to persons who might not otherwise have
those opportunities.
In choosing ESVCLC as the 2002 CTC of the Year, Dr. Will Reed, TFA-Houston President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, “The committee recommended ESVCLC because they serve their Third Ward community well. They offer a multitude of classes and training opportunities by leveraging their community credibility and collaborating with multiple organizations and service providers. In these difficult times of limited resources positive change in our communities can continue to take place by working together.” Also recognized with “Honorable
Mention” CTC of the Year awards were Destiny Bridge Builders Houston
and Texas Interfaith Housing. |
