TechCorps

TechCorps is a non-profit organization that partners with underserved communities to provide technology access and training. Founded in 2003, TechCorps aims to bridge the digital divide by equipping individuals with the skills and resources necessary to thrive in an increasingly technology-driven world. The organization focuses on several key areas: computer refurbishment and distribution, digital literacy workshops, and IT support for community organizations.

TechCorps collects donated computers from corporations and individuals, refurbishes them, and then distributes them to schools, libraries, and low-income families. This program not only provides essential technology but also promotes environmental sustainability through recycling. In addition to hardware, TechCorps offers a range of training programs designed to improve digital skills. These workshops cover basic computer operation, internet navigation, online safety, and specific software applications relevant to employment and education.

Furthermore, TechCorps provides volunteer-based IT support to non-profit organizations, helping them maintain their technology infrastructure and enhance their operational efficiency. Volunteers, often IT professionals or students, contribute their expertise to assist organizations that may not have the resources for dedicated IT staff. The organization operates through a network of volunteers and relies on grants, corporate sponsorships, and individual donations to fund its initiatives. TechCorps has established programs in several regions, impacting thousands of individuals by fostering digital inclusion and empowering communities through technology.
