GTECH Afterschool Advantage Program (Deadline: Rolling)

The GTECH After School Advantage Program is a national community investment program, which provides non-profit community agencies and public schools with state-of-the-art computer labs. These computer centers are designed to provide inner-city children aged five to 15 with a meaningful, yet fun, learning experience during the critical after-school hours, in a safe environment. This initiative is meant to provide an otherwise unavailable educational experience and bridge the digital divide among at-risk children. By applying our knowledge and expertise to this type of program GTECH hopes to increase children's interest in careers in computers and provide them with the necessary tools to help them become more competitive in school and in today's job market.

• After School Advantage Programs have been implemented in states where GTECH is located nationwide (this pertains to states where GTECH is the online lottery services provider).
•  GTECH donates up to $15,000 in state-of-the-art computers, on-line technology, computer software and volunteer hours to each after-school program in inner-city communities where the Company's offices are located nationwide.
•  The Program targets minority and at-risk children aged five to 15.
•  GTECH employees will work with each agency to design and develop a fully operational Computer Center.
