The Family Friendly Computer Program

We are making changes to our program. For the 2011-12 school year we are working only with Paterson's three community schools: School 5, Napier Academy and New Roberto Clemente School.

How you can help: Donate Your Laptop Computer!

We are seeking laptops for our computer loan program. They must be in working order.

Get a Computer for Your Paterson Public School Child in School 5, Napier Academy or New Roberto Clemente School.

The Family Friendly Computer Project places recycled computers in the homes of Paterson Public School families to boost family literacy and enhance family learning opportunities. To get a computer, you must take a 3 hour training in trouble shooting, set up and basic applications.
