Child Connect

Child Connect is a joint venture of the Hamilton CommunityNet, the St. Leonard's Society and Children's Aid Societies in Hamilton. Through this program, refurbished computers with an Internet connection are given to children in the care of Children's Aid Societies and youth at risk, in the City of Hamilton. The goal of the program is to ensure that these children can use the computer and the Internet to build their computer skills and provide them with the tools they need to be successful in their school projects, research and homework assignments.
