The
David Bohnett Cyber Center at The Center provides a safe and welcoming
space for members of the LGBT community to access the Internet, process
documents and receive support in navigating today’s technologically-oriented
workplace.
The Cyber Center provides computer access to over 300 community members
per month who would otherwise not be able to connect to online resources.
Opened along with the rest of The Center 2001, the Cyber Center’s
primary goal is still paramount: to empower our community to use technology
as a tool to increase economic, personal and social well-being.
Visitors to The Cyber Center use any one of our 9 computer work stations
with 17–inch monitors to search for jobs, create resumes and access
health information online.
Information is not filtered and thus visitors can search through many
vital LGBT Web sites containing information on issues of sexual identity,
mental health and community organizing that would otherwise be banned
at other institutions. Visitors can also print and have the ability
to scan pictures.
Volunteers are on hand to assist users during all hours of operation.
Many visitors have not had the opportunity to learn or use computers
before. At the Cyber Center, folks don’t have to be embarrassed
to ask any questions. Users are able to connect one on one with a member
of the LGBT community and are made to feel welcomed. Volunteers understand
the diversity of our community.
