Comcast is launching WiFi connected Lift Zones at 11 community centers across Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast to provide students with safe spaces to connect to the internet to participate in virtual classes and other activities.
The West Palm Beach Police Athletic League on Tamarind Avenue was one of the first to pilot the program back in September.
CEO Jervonte Tae Edmonds says at that time, it allowed about 35-40 kids to participate in their virtual learning for school, who otherwise did not have high speed internet access at home.
