A Message from your PSI Board

PSI received a grant from the Pascal Foundation of over $15,000! This money will go to renovate the computer lab space into a multipurpose Internet Cafe with future plans to extend and enhance our technology center and offerings to all Pascal members.


Check out our new donation envelopes throughout the center! Each envelope will ensure donation funds go to programming in that area/room (i.e. Pool tables, Arts Room, Gym, Computer Lab). We appreciate any amount contributed.
