Muskegon-Norton Shores, MI (1888PressRelease) July 01, 2016 - AT&T will present a $20,000 gift to Eagle Village on Monday in support of Passages - a co-ed residential program offering youth who will age out of foster care systems tools for successful independent living.

The contribution from AT&T will be used to establish a computer lab and training center in the Leppien Home, where youth in the Passages program live. U.S. Representative John Moolenaar will be on hand to join AT&T in making the contribution, which will go a long way towards enhancing what is already an effective training program for underserved teenagers as they move into adulthood.

"The Passages program provides invaluable training for children, bridging the gap between foster care and adulthood," said Moolenaar "Thank you AT&T for doing your part to see that the children of our community have access to all the tools and skills they will need to lead successful, independent lives."

WHEN: Monday, June 20, 2016 at 1 P.M.

WHERE: Eagle Village 4507 170th Avenue, Hersey, MI 49639

"In today's digital world, it's imperative that young adults have the ability to access and use a computer," said Cathey Prudhomme, president of Eagle Village. "The new AT&T Training Center will greatly enhance our ability to provide critical, real-world training to young adults as they work to develop the skills needed to successfully transition into adulthood."

"AT&T is proud to support Eagle Village in their mission to provide help and care to children most in need of additional support," said Jim Murray, President of AT&T Michigan. "We're thrilled to play a part in enriching the amazing service Eagle Village provide for countless kids."
