Safe Schools South Florida Teams Up With Best Buy
by Joshua Head

Miami Beach FL - June 9, 2009 --- Safe Schools South Florida announced plans that are underway for a first-time collaboration between Best Buy and Safe Schools South Florida to present a free and exciting technology summer academy for LGBTQ youth!

Robert feels that the event paves the way for other businesses, corporations, and agencies to also reach out publicly to the LGBTQ youths in our community via trainings and services for this population. In a very practical way, the Summer Academy provides opportunities to build computer and technology-related skills for these students; skills which will be a big asset for any youth”, Loupo says.

The Geek Squad Summer Academy is a program customized for our student community to inspire youth to get involved firsthand with technology.  Through interactive classes and activities, students will learn more about navigating our increasingly "techie" world and the possibility of an exciting future in the technology field.  A certificate of completion will be given at the end of the program.

This partnering is the first outreach by Best Buy and Geek Squad Agents to the LGBTQ community and their allies in Southern Florida.

The program is scheduled to take place June 29 through July 2, with the location to be determined.

Please pass this information to all LGBTQ youth and their allies who may be interested.
