Westbrook said that he was excited to help out with the youth.

“Something I’m very, very passionate about throughout my foundation,” Westbrook said during a video conference with the mayor. “Just trying to find a way, especially now, to be able to bridge the gap and giving kids access to another way of learning through computers and allowing them to be able to continue their education, especially from remote.”
