Computer Resource Centers

Are you a first-time computer user? A jobseeker looking to strengthen your resume? A teen interested in making movies? Computer Resource Centers can provide you with the tools and guidance you need.

Computer Resource Centers (CRCs) are located within Recreation Centers and provide free digital learning resources for center members of all ages and abilities. Starting with one public computer lab at Al Smith Recreation Center in 1997, there are now CRCs throughout the five boroughs. CRCs aim to increase community technology resources through providing internet access and technology education in New York City communities.

Classes range from single workshops to 4 – 12 week courses. New class schedules begin seasonally and class registration occurs during the two weeks before the next session’s start date. CRCs run on interim schedules during the holiday season and public school closure.

Teens
