CompUSA was happy to donate 350 USB Flash Drives to the Youth Center for their Back-To-School project – and we were there to further help with the packing of the bookbags with the flash drives, pencils and other needed supplies for the upcoming school year.

ComputerTV hostesses spoke with the students and several volunteers at the Center and talked a little bit of tech with them too! Last year, CompUSA assisted the Latinos Unidos Center in Miami with a project, there providing 25 computer systems for the Center to aid in their educational efforts as many of these students do not have computers at home. The donated flash drives will provide a “transport” means to get homework from school and to the Overtown Youth Center, where the children can use on-site computers and printers to complete their homework and research.

Watch for an upcoming video about the event!
