Time Warner Cable has selected the Ali Forney Center as a recipient of a Learning Lab, giving the LGBT youth homeless shelter a $50,000 grant for new computers, internet access, tablets and televisions. 

“Time Warner Cable is proud to partner with an organization that serves as a strong voice for homeless LGBT youth in NYC and across the nation. The Time Warner Cable Learning Lab will feature programs and resources that will assist youth in their educational and career development needs as they grow from adolescence to adulthood.”

The lab will be housed at the Ali Forney Center’s new 24-hour drop-in center in Harlem for homeless LGBT youth, the first of its kind in the nation. The Learning Lab will officially open during the first quarter of 2013.

Wonderful news! Ali Forney is a great organization that could definitely use the help.
