Neighborhood Networks
Launched by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 1995, Neighborhood Networks was one of the first federal initiatives to promote computer access and self-sufficiency in low to moderate income communities. Neighborhood Networks is a community-based initiative that has a profound effect on the lives of the residents and the communities they live within because the centers create an opportunity for people to succeed.
Today, there are more than 1,400 Neighborhood Networks computer labs across the country that brings the power of technology to low to moderate income households and the community. These centers offer an array of different activities and programs including adult and children education programs, new employment opportunities and after-school enrichment programs.
The William O. Lee Jr. Computer Learning Center (CLC) opened in 2003 in conjunction with HOPE VI. The CLC offers endless training possibilities in helping the Frederick community connect with the world of technology. The center offers free adult GED classes, employment training, all standard office applications, high-speed Internet and adult education computer classes. The CLC is open Monday through Thursday from 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM and Friday from 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM to the general public.
