Established in 2007, Computers 4 Kids is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to bridging the digital divide in our community. Many low-income students and families do not have access to a computer or affordable internet, limiting access to software for homework, the ability to search for jobs, access to healthcare, and more. Today more than ever limited access to the online world is a barrier to development and growth.
We are bridging this divide by providing low-income students and community members in West Sacramento and the greater Capital Region with computers equipped with software & virus protection, ready to connect to the internet. We combine this with support from specialists trained to provide support navigating the online environment.
Computers4Kids also provides high school and college students the opportunity to gain technical skills and work experience through participation in our internship programs.
For over 15 years Computers 4 Kids has developed a variety of programs, all working towards our mission of increasing online access and online support.
Computers 4 Kids is dedicated to uplifting communities by helping households get online and connect with resources that better their lives.
We refurbish computers, help find affordable internet plans, and provide instruction on how to use the internet. This opens up access to education, jobs and healthcare.
Our focus is on students in West Sacramento and with communities throughout Yolo and Sacramento counties.
Our goal this year is to raise $30,000 to support our Green Technology Initiative. Your donation will go directly to support the three services of our Green Technology Initiative
Acquiring Used Computers - We connect with businesses in the region to have them donate their computers when they replace them. We need funding to perform acquisition outreach and have more companies join our Digital Inclusion - Computer Donation Partner Program. Redirecting used computers from eWaste to refurbishing is good for the environment
Refurbishing Computers - Your donation will help us hire more technicians who refurbish computers, making them ready to give to students and individuals in the region.
Transforming Communities - A refurbished computer, affordable internet, and available support helps individuals stay online. Help us hire more Digital Navigators to connect with communities in your area and help individuals get online and connect with education, jobs and healthcare. Opening online access opens opportunities.
Computers4Kids is dedicated to bringing Digital Equity to communities in the region through Digital Inclusion Services, including free Computers, Affordable Internet, and Digital Literacy support. .
