Call to Computer-Using Youth

Become a founding member of the new

The RAIN Rural Community Technology Network is looking for a few good Youth to join the Youth Technology Corps. If you enjoy working with computers, and have Internet experience at any level, this is a great opportunity for you.

Become part of a real Team working on the development of web sites, rural technology access, and Internet training programs with challenging special projects like the RAIN / Camp Internet GIS mapping and environmental studies program, or the bi-lingual rural family telehealth program.

Your local YTC works directly with the RAIN Network on the development of web sites for their community and on the preparation of a monthly newsletter. YTC members will also provide advice and recommendations to the Community Technology Advisory Council that is guiding RAIN’s work in your community. You will have a say in bringing technology into your community as a development tool, and you will help shape your community’s future.

Your role, as a member of the YTC, will be to take part in a 1-1/2 hour meeting once a month and become part of a team working on web site development, local training, GIS (geographic information system mapping), newsletter, or other special projects. You will be shaping a new program for your community, using new technologies as a community empowerment tool.

We invite you to make a commitment to serve for one year as a YTC member. This learning experience will add important skills and resources to the local level of this innovative community technology education and telemedicine program – and give YOU a step up towards your future career opportunities. All YTC members receive free local-dial Internet accounts during their year of service.
