Technology for HS Graduate


We have a NAHS senior student who has recently met all requirements to graduate early. She is 18 years old, completely independent, and responsible for taking care of her needs outside of school. Since she will be required to turn in her school-issued technology, we are hoping to try and help her stay connected online. She could really benefit from an iPad or laptop so that she can be prepared to attend college classes in the Fall and/or have easier access to email for work-related items (she worked hard and earned her STNA while in HS). If there are any gently used devices being donated in the community, this student would greatly appreciate one.

Linda Finn, Area Director 

Linda Finn, a native New Yorker moved from Omaha, NE to Ohio eight years ago. She immediately loved the “small town” feel of New Albany and looked for an opportunity to get involved in the community. New Albany Bridges filled that need and she has been a consistent donor. Having the ability to remove barriers for our neighbors especially children is so fulfilling. Recently when approached with the opportunity to become an Area Director she realized that she could make even a bigger difference.
