The Network maintains Digital Clubhouses in Sunnyvale and at the New York Information Technology Center in Wall St. Participants use the Internet to communicate with each other through email and through chat rooms. The goal of this project is to help ease the transition from school to careers for youth with disabilities, as well as to heighten awareness and sensitivity to disability issues. About 25 online volunteers have participated so far. It's chat rooms are availble to youth with disabilities and their parents 24 hours a day, and feature special online chat presentations by the youth themselves.
