New Center to Provide AOL High Speed Broadband Service and Computers

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Giants Star Tiki Barber and

Hip-Hop Artist/Actor Mos Def Help Inaugurate New PowerUP Center

America Online, the world's leading interactive services company, and Time Warner Cable of New York City, today announced the launch of the newest PowerUP center in the Harlem YMCA Jackie Robinson Youth Center in New York City. The center will provide local children with AOL High Speed Broadband service, including free AOL accounts and Parental Controls, and Gateway computers from the Waitt Family Foundation as part of PowerUP's national initiative to help give underserved youth the skills, experience and resources necessary to succeed in the digital age. On hand to help inaugurate the new PowerUP center at 4:00 p.m. EST will be Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), New York Giants star running back Tiki Barber and hip-hop artist and actor Mos Def, who is currently co-starring in the Tony Award-nominated and Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play "Top Dog/Underdog."

The new PowerUP center at the Harlem YMCA's Jackie Robinson Youth Center will have 20 new computers, each with the AOL High Speed Broadband service over Time Warner Cable's high-speed cable. The PowerUP center will be used by community preschoolers, school-age youth and teenagers for academic enhancement, graphic arts and design and entrepreneurship projects. Plus, built-in Parental Controls will keep children safe throughout their entire online experience, by providing the most up-to-date security and privacy protections available.

"We believe that fast, easy and safe access to the best technology and educational resources is vital to the future of our community," said Elaine Edmonds, Executive Director of the Harlem YMCA. "By joining the PowerUP partnership and taking advantage of AOL's services and Time Warner's high speed cable connections, the Jackie Robinson Youth Center can offer positive development for our children while, at the same time, introducing them to the exciting world of broadband technology."

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton added: "This is a wonderful initiative aimed at bridging the digital divide for the children of Harlem. Access to information and computer skills are vital tools for success in the 21st century. The PowerUP center will be a great facility for children who would not otherwise have access to the world wide information network."

"The ability of kids to effectively use computers and the Internet will be an essential skill throughout their lifetimes," said Giants running back Tiki Barber, who studied Information Technology at the University of Virginia. "It will help open doors to a wide range of opportunities, and will provide them with a solid foundation for building other skills."

Kathy Bushkin, Senior Vice President, AOL Time Warner, Inc. and President, AOL Time Warner Foundation, added: "We are proud of AOL's ongoing partnership with PowerUP and of our shared commitment to help bridge the digital divide in all communities. By combining AOL's rich array of resources with Time Warner Cable's unique cable distribution system, we're making it possible for kids to develop 21st century literacy skills, enabling them to easily access and use many of the most advanced features and services on the Internet."

"This is an exciting extension of our ongoing commitment to support education by reaching beyond the schools and into the community," said Barry Rosenblum, Time Warner Cable Executive Vice President, and President of Time Warner Cable's New York City division. "By combining business and community resources we hope to make a positive impact on the young people who come through the center."

The PowerUP program provides young people with access to a wide range of content and information on the Internet as well as offline programs and educational activities to help young people learn about and experience the world around them. PowerUP promotes the positive youth development goals of America's Promise, which is dedicated to mobilizing people from every sector of American life to build the character and competence of our nation's youth.
