    Step into the offices of the HK Foundation Center of Maplewood & South Orange (commonly known as “The Center”) on Valley Street in Maplewood and you are immediately pulled into a vortex of non-stop activity.

    Local teenagers, business owners and training instructors are bustling about, gazing intently at computer screens and working with The Center’s Director of Business Development and Community Outreach Stephanie Jelley.

    The Center provides free—yes, free—media training classes to Maplewood and South Orange students in grades 7-12. (The full list of fall classes will be available online on August 23  and early registration is encouraged. Some of the classes to be offered include iWeb/Word Press, iPhoto/Aperture 3 and iMovie/Final Express.) A few adult classes—in ESL, conversational Spanish and blogging—are available for a nominal fee.
