CyberYouth is a summer and after-school  program serving youths, ages 12 – 15, from the underserved communities of Salem. The mission of CyberYouth is to provide academic enrichment and career pathways that will develop confident learners and broaden teens thinking about post-secondary education, and technology careers   We hope to achieve this by linking students to work-based learning opportunities and project-based learning activities. We have chosen a Multimedia Digital Arts curriculum in order to provide a fun, non-threatening and creative environment in which to learn and explore.  The CyberYouth members will work with adult and college age mentors and tutors as well as private sector professionals and subject-matter expert instructors

CyberYouth is a collaborative program with the Salem public schools  (Collins Middle School, the Salem High School and the Nathaniel Bowditch School), North Shore Community Action Programs, and several area private sector companies.

CyberYouth staff often run programs for other youth programs. For six months, Joel Pena, Youth Coordinator for the after-school program conducted a web design course every Monday afternoon at the Boys and Girls Club of Lynn under a grant from the Lynn Arts Council

CyberYouth is partially funded by the City of Salem Department of Planning and Community Development, US Dept. of Housing and Urban Development.
