African
American
chamber helps
with computers
Through the combined efforts of
the African American Chamber of
Commerce of Oregon and a gener
ous eq u ip m en t donation from
CenturyLink, the chamber was re
cently able to provide enough refur
bished computer systems to up
grade the student learning lab at the
Youth Employment Institute.
The lab was equipped with com
puters that were too old to support
a newer version of Windows. That’s
where Steve Watkins, the African
American Chamber’s director of
internet technology and communi
cations, stepped in.
Having secured an equipment
donation from CenturyLink a few
years ago to populate the now de
funct learning lab at Sabin Commu
nity Development, Watkins reached
out to his contact at CenturyLink to
successfully find equipment that
could be donated for the Youth
Employment Institute.
The company completed all of the
necessary nonprofit organizational
paperwork and Watkins, eager to get
started on yet another chamber
project, drove to Washington state
to personally pick up all of the
computers and accessories.
The YEI students and teachers
are now enjoying the benefits of
training on up-to-date systems and
software that those students will
need to be able to use in the real
business world.
