Adult Programs

Community Technology Center - A program that provides low-income people access to computers and the Internet. The program also offers Microsoft Office Suite training to 100 adults. Funded by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Digital Divide Program.

Parent Education/Participation - Patriots' Gateway has proven to be effective in getting parents involved in their children's activities.

In our sewing class, one night of the week we feature family sewing - a very popular program. In our cooking class, one night a week, we have family dinner. Part of parent education includes getting parents involved in their children's school life. This important element of our programming continues to grow.

Adult Sports

Family sports include family team volleyball and basketball to encourage parents to engage in their children's lives. Parental engagement decreases the likelihood that children will engage in negative activities such as joining gangs, smoking, premarital sex, etc.
