The Community NET-Workers

The Community NET-Workers Project was created in honour of 2001, the United Nations' International Year of Volunteers. The Community NET-Workers project is part of a much larger vision about how we need to inspire, instill, and support the development of citizenship and build Civil Society among the "NET-Generation". Schools will "adopt" a local, community-based non-profit group: boy scouts, minor hockey leagues, churches, synagogues, temples, 4H clubs, boys and girls clubs. Working with these groups students will create and maintain Web sites for local non-profit community groups in order to help bridge the digital divide. Local school boards can host these pages.
