To start a Learning Center you must have about twelve committed computer-literate volunteers. These volunteers should be committing to the program for at least one year. This fee covers the first two years of operation. If your Learning Center maintains a membership of 100, there is no further cost in the future. We have discovered that a good partnership consists of those establishing the Learning Center and SeniorNet both contributing to the required funding, usually on approximately a 50-50 basis.
People usually take several courses in a year.
This fee comes back to SeniorNet to help us to continue to support our current Learning Centers and to bring Learning Centers to other communities. We have a scholarship fund to assist those individuals who cannot afford to pay the membership fee. When you bring SeniorNet to the seniors of your community, you are bringing a wonderful program that will that connect them to the world of computers and beyond. Thank you again for your interest in SeniorNet.
