OCTY’s U.S. community technology-access work may support eligible youth, students, and families with donor-supported computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, printers, accessories, software access, digital-literacy support, and practical training for school, homework, online learning, communication, records organization, and job readiness.
Refurbished computers and laptops may help eligible students complete homework, participate in online learning, create documents, prepare presentations, communicate with schools, and practice digital skills at home.
Training may include keyboard and mouse skills, file organization, email basics, online forms, safe browsing, printing, scanning, document creation, Microsoft tools, Linux basics, Adobe tools, and practical home/school technology use.
Device access depends on donation availability, device condition, data-safety review, program fit, eligibility, documented community-service priorities, and responsible stewardship.
Equipment and access
Training can connect with refurbished equipment access, technology donations, nonprofit IT support, device setup, records organization, and responsible donor partnerships.
Computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, printers, scanners, and networking equipment can support training and access after review.
Organizations may need help with devices, email, files, backups, shared workspaces, online forms, and workflow planning.
Technology volunteers, trainers, companies, donors, schools, churches, and nonprofits can help expand training access.
