The Dallas Urban League is housed in an office-park type building in South Dallas. While the suite of offices is clean and the staff professional, it is located in a section of South Dallas that is visibly worn-down and has many urban poor.
Students start with the basics of computer operation.
Each course lasts about 6 weeks. When asked why they enrolled in technology courses, the students had various responses. Another student, Delia, explained that she previously had been on welfare, and now was working part time. Delia came to class because she saw the opportunity to learn computer application skills that would help her get a better job. Bobbi said she was a retiree living in Dallas and she used to have a data entry job.
