我们从社区收集捐赠的笔记本电脑, 更新他们, then distribute them to low-income households without computers via our network of nonprofit direct service providers (social workers, 社会工作者, 教育工作者, 或医护人员). All donated 移动PC。s are securely wiped (according to the US DoD 5220.22-M Standard as well as 20+ international data sanitizing standards) and refurbished by volunteers. 如果你有一台笔记本电脑要捐赠，请点击这里!
我们的目标是连接世界另一端的成年人 数字鸿沟 帮助他们茁壮成长. 自2020年COVID爆发以来, we have refurbished and distributed over 400 donated computers to adults, 老年人, and families isolated from the resources and opportunities a computer can provide. Access to a computer means adults are better equipped to develop skills they need to enter the workforce and earn better wages, 父母可以更容易地支持孩子的教育, veterans’ and rural-area families get access to online healthcare support, and 老年人 are offered an opportunity to improve their social and civic engagement!
Our Refurbished Laptop Program does not distribute 移动PC。s to the general public; they are distributed through direct service providers at existing partner nonprofits. Due to limited resources we are not able to expand our Refurbished Laptop Program at this time.
Adults can gain basic computer skills and help with tech questions in our free classes or Walk-in Computer Help Clinics held at libraries and 社区中心. 类通常包括:
- 计算机基础知识
- 互联网基础知识、私隐 & 安全
- 写作工具:谷歌文档 & 文书处理软件
- 排除电脑问题
Any scheduled classes or walk-in clinics are listed below. If none are listed, we do not yet have the funds to offer them. 请考虑 捐款. If your non-profit agency is interested in funding and hosting class/es or Walk-in Computer Help Clinic/s for your clients (or staff), 打(608)274-3107转3给肖恩.
Our Free Tech 修复 Clinics offer computer support/repair for adults from low-income households. 技术维修诊所通常在图书馆举行, 社区中心, or partner non-profit agencies and folks can bring in their device (smart phone, 平板电脑, 移动PC。, 塔, etc) for our technicians to assess and repair (if possible).
