| PRESS RELEASE, JULY 9, 2003: New searchable online database allows easy access to local resources for youth CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA—Imagine a resource for parents to turn to when they need information about after-school activities; a site where teachers can find appropriate resources for troubled students; a place where any resident can learn about the range of health, education, recreation and social programs and services available to children and families in the Charlottesville/Albemarle community.

Find a list of all adult education providers with the click of a button. Find adoption resources, food banks, afterschool activities, resources for children with disabilities, and much more. With comprehensive listings covering health, education, recreation and social programs and services, the Guide is a valuable reference for our community.
