Tech Generation Educational Resource VISTA

Tech Generation Educational Resource VISTA

Tech Generation Learning Center (TGLC) serves at-risk youth in the West Point, MS area by providing quality educational services and life enrichment activities. As the city faces an average poverty rate around 31.9%, after school and summer programming provided by agencies such as TGLC fight poverty by helping to ensure academic success and healthy living for its youth participants, which enable a successful transition for area youth into productive adults.

The Ameri Corps VISTA will build capacity by establishing new partnerships with area colleges, leveraging additional resources, and improving Tech Generation's ability to offer STEM education to its youth participants. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
