Computer Underground Railroad Conductors
C.U.R.E. (Computer Underground Railroad Enterprises) was founded in 1994 by J. Nayer Hardin to provide computer training and prevent "computer injuries". It has trained many volunteers and people in need. Over time, with donations, grants, and investments, C.U.R.E. was able to expand its programs. It has faced challenges with limited budgets but overcome them through community support, donated resources, and "massive sweat equity". The document outlines C.U.R.E.'s history, programs, conductors, and ideas to continue increasing access to computers and technology.
