BUCKHANNON — Students at the Stockert Youth and Community Center now have the ability to learn from tutors even when they’re not at the facility, thanks to a major donation this week.
On Tuesday, Suddenlink presented a donation of $12,500 worth of iPads to the center in Buckhannon. The donation will increase access to virtual learning opportunities, connectivity and online curriculum for students, officials said.
The Stockert Youth and Community Center provides tutoring, after-school activities, recreation and sports classes and leagues, and summer camps for youth and adults in Buckhannon and Upshur County.
The iPads will be used on remote learning days and in after-school programs for students. Suddenlink also provides complimentary internet service for the center.
“We very much appreciate Suddenlink and Altice USA for their very generous and much needed donation of the iPads, headphones and upgrade to our Wi-fi connection. The generous donation helps our after school and tutoring programs,” said Stockert Youth Center Director Debora Brockleman. “Our partnership with Suddenlink has been a blessing to our Stockert Youth Center.”
In the fall of 2020, Altice USA, the parent company of Suddenlink, contributed a total of $1 million impacting 30 school districts as part of its COVID-19 response initiatives to support local communities as they recover from the impact of the pandemic, according to a company press release.
“Suddenlink is committed to ensuring broadband access for all and understands that now, more than ever, having the right tools to remain connected is just as critical as access itself,” the release states. “With this contribution, Suddenlink will be aiding students and schools to continue learning in this new, virtual environment.”
The Stockert Youth and Community Center, which features the motto “Providing Upshur County youth with a safe place to learn and play,” is located at 79 East Main Street in Buckhannon. The facility’s phone number is 304-473-0145.
