What We Do

Photo of a typical classThe “friendly” and affordable choice for Grass Valley area adults to learn computer and internet basic skills.

We Invite you to browse our site to learn more about exciting computer training programs and volunteer opportunities.

The Gold Country Computer Learning Center (GCCLC), serving north west Nevada County, provides a friendly, enthusiastic environment where students can learn to use computers and share computing experiences. GCCLC is building a community of computer literate adults to bring them access to technology and to empower them to share their time-tested knowledge and wisdom. Our classroom provides each student the use of an IBM compatible computer with Microsoft Windows XP, and Microsoft Works for applications instruction. Additionally, students experience the World Wide Web (Internet) and E-mail basics through actual on-line activity.

The GCCLC started as part of SeniorNet (www.seniornet.org), a nationwide organization that serves over 240 learning centers and 40,000 members in the U.S. The Grass Valley Center opened in 2000 at the Grass Valley Community Center. Since then, over 1,500 area residents have graduated from our programs, all eagerly looking for ways to use their new skills. GCCLC is now an independent, non-profit California Corporation.

Learning Center Philosophy

We believe in "learning by doing" in our specially paced, supportive classroom environment. Each student will have his/her own computer, a workbook, and pre defined work files. The all-volunteer training team consists of an instructor who leads the course and several coaches who work with the students to ensure they successfully complete each lesson. The methods used to train have been time-tested and are highly praised by our former students. The Learning Center staff will do their utmost to accommodate the special needs of any student. So, why not join us for a fun and interesting experience.
