During a time in which the Internet has become more essential than ever before, hundreds of youth across two nonprofit organizations in Mercer County have recently gained unlimited access to it.

WiFi-connected Lift Zones were established at the facilities of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Mercer County and the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) of Mercer County last year in alignment with Comcast’seffort to launch more than 1,000 zones of free WiFi in community centers nationwide by the end of 2021.

“The pandemic has put many low-income students at risk of being left behind, and we’re proud to work with partners like the Boys & Girls Clubs and Catholic Youth Organization of Mercer County to support them with Internet adoption and digital equity programs like this one,” Jim Samaha, senior vice president of Comcast’s Freedom Region, said in a press release shared with NJ Advance Media. “We hope these Lift Zones help Trenton students stay connected to vital educational resources.”

CYO of Mercer County provides affordable educational and recreational services including preschools, before and after-school programs, summer camps, swim lessons, and athletic leagues to youth across Greater Mercer County. Free WiFi was installed at both the South Broad Street and East State Street centers of CYO of Mercer County last fall.
