Located at 8911 N Woolsey Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97203, it is situated in Oregon's largest public housing complex called Columbia Villa / Tamaracks.
It is open to the community and serves children 4 years old up to adults 84 years young.
The concept of the lab is to provide a community technology resource and education support center to our low income residents.
The facility offers Internet access, email account support, educational assistance/tutoring for other institutions such as the local schools, community colleges and universities, plus fun and games for children to use, in a safe environment.
The lab is designed to assist residents in learning computer basics. Most common computer applications such as Word Processing, Spreadsheets, and Graphic programs are available. Time is also spent working with peripherals commonly used in computing such as printers, scanners, cameras and modems.
Second language learning software programs are available for people interested in learning ESL. A library of Encyclopedias and academic software is on hand to assist users interested in doing homework or research projects.
Use of the lab is free, and because it is a HAP non profit activity with a no... to low... overhead budget, we accomplish our services to the community through an active volunteer program. All users who sign up to use the lab for free, are required to volunteer one hour of their time back to supporting the functioning of the lab, for every 20 hours of personal use they do.
Volunteer activities can include the following types of things:
cleaning the lab creating schedules, forms, signs tutoring other students
repairing computers installing software opening the lab for users
No one is asked to do something they have not developed the skills for yet.
For information concerning volunteer activities at the computer labs or other HAP volunteer opportunities, please contact Elli Work (HAP's Volunteer Coordinator) at (503) 802-8585
between Monday and Fridays 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST.
