Grant Funds Benefit At-Risk Teens in California

The Boys & Girls Club in Redwood City, California recently got some serious upgrades. Bright red paint, sound-dampening panels and a top-of-the-line audio recording system have transformed it into a digital multimedia center.

The upgrades were made possible through a partnership with both the Peapod and Adobe Foundations. A $360,000 grant will fund the academy for three years, where young people will be able to receive training in video, audio, photography, design and art.
