The Computer Clubhouse at Harlem Congregations for Community Improvement, Inc. (HCCI) is pleased to announce that long-standing member Christine Davis, 17, has been chosen to receive a 2009 Clubhouse to College (C2C) Scholarship from the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network. The C2C Scholarships are intended to provide resources to selected Computer Clubhouse members or alumni as they transition to post high school education. A key component of the Clubhouse program is C2C, which encourages Clubhouse youth to pursue studies beyond high school and realize their full potential. Christine was awarded the scholarship based on her commitment to the Clubhouse, community involvement, academic achievements and future goals.
Essays and recommendations submitted on behalf of the recipient also detailed her leadership in the Computer Clubhouse and dedication to the Clubhouse program. C2C Scholarship recipients described their experiences in the Clubhouse and opportunities that the program has brought them. Activities such as peer mentoring, the development of college and career preparation skills, and projects collaborating with members from around the world through “The Village,” the Clubhouse Network’s Intranet Site — as well as face-to-face at the Computer Clubhouse Network’s biennial Teen Summit — are among the many highlights shared.

She also brought along her sister Maria Rivera of the Bronx, 29, and niece Joelley Rivera, 19 months. “I read about the event in El Especialito (a Spanish language newspaper) and wanted to bring my daughter,” said Rivera. “She gets so excited. She loves Christmas tree lights.” Continue reading
