Not surprisingly, I get this very same question asked of me almost every week as I try to make my rounds through various communities, soliciting folks for their involvement in our family enrichment and community development programs.

The very folks we are trying to reach out to in our efforts to enrich will be staunchly inquiring (and they have a right to do so) ...

"Well if I join your program, what's in it for me?

What do I get for my time and participation? How does this benefit me, and my family? I would then hand them a F.E.T.C.H. Program Benefits Brochure and go into details as I outline the various benefits and perks made available to participants of the F.E.T.C.H. Program.

Well after countless repetition of this cycle, I decided that I could do much more with this same information. I decided to make this information available to all interested parties via this website. So for all the folks who might want to ask that same question...here is how the F.E.T.C.H. program benefits not only you and your family, but your entire community.

As a participant in the F.E.T.C.H. Program, you'll receive:

• In-depth Information Technology Training in the areas of Web Development, Computer Repairs and Maintenance, Video Shooting, Editing and Post-Production, Web-Based and Print Graphics, Web Marketing and Search Engine Optimization, plus lots more marketable I.T. skills.

• A Free, Brand New, Computer System. We know that we could teach you to fish, and even take you out to the best lake, pond, or river. We believe you might even get excite about the prospects of catching a fish or few, but we also know that without fishing line, hooks, bait, net, or even a basic caveman's spear (smiles...joking..) or the likes, you'd sooner or later walk away either frustrated or discouraged, at not being able to catch any fish. So we believe that a part of the empowerment and or recovery which we offer has to be the tools or resource you walk away with when you complete the F.E.T.C.H. Program.
