Senate Bill 949 – Page

The computer clubhouses program was introduced and sponsored by Intel Corporation with a

five year operating budget in 2000. The original intent was to start up the program in which all

the equipment and hardware was provided with the understanding that the program would need

to secure local funding for the future. Intel donated the equipment and hardware to Youth

Development Incorporated (YDI).

The funding will cover staffing and operating expenses for the two facilities in Bernalillo

County. The approximate cost for staffing is $150.0 per year with operating expenses nearing

$35.0. All software and upgrades are paid for by Intel at an approximate cost of $15.0 per year

which is awarded through an application process.

PERFORMANCE IMPLICATIONS

The YDI which operates as a 501(c) (3) corporation currently runs both computer clubhouses in

Bernalillo County. YDI's programs include tutoring, after-school activities, gang intervention,

drop-out prevention, family counseling services, emergency teen shelter, youth sports,

internships, scholarships, parenting skills, leadership development, public housing assistance,

community corrections, GED studies, early childhood education via Head Start centers,

substance abuse and AIDS education and many others.

YDI will submit a bid for the funding to help cover the operating costs.

DUPLICATION

Duplicates HB 1095.
