Among the many programs within the Club Tech family is the Digital Arts Suite, a collection of five programs combining arts and technology, designed to incorporate the best learning approaches in a high-tech setting for kids in the areas of Web design; graphic design and animation; digital photography and photo editing; digital movies

and digital music. The Boys & Girls Club also launched YNet, www.bgcayouthnet.org, an online community that offers fun, entertaining, and above all safe, online content

designed for kids, by kids. Some components of the site include: My Club area (where Boys & Girls Club members can post local news and display Web pages); lessons on Internet safety; activities, promotions and games; links to other teen-related sites; and music, movie reviews, streaming video and audio reports by Club YNet reporters. By providing young people with better online and computing resources, Boys & Girls Clubs can fill the gap for those without adequate resources in schools and at home. Acquiring Club Tech skills not only helps users navigate the World Wide Web, it enables them to better navigate life.
