PowerUp Florida Access Points


PowerUP Florida is one of the Governor's initiative, via a public-private partnership aimed at bridging Florida's "digital divide"- the gap between those who have access to computers and Internet technology and those who do not. In partnership with the national PowerUP organization, the Florida-based coalition has established some 25 computer lab sites in underserved communities across Florida - making Florida the most proactive state in the union in efforts to combat the "digital divide." Beyond providing a safe place for youth to access computers, programs are working with the Governor's statewide Mentoring Initiative to provide mentors who will teach participants how to responsibly use computers and the Internet.
