Program areas at Comp-U-Dopt

Computer adoption - we host community-based events to distribute recently retired corporate computers that have been reconditioned. The computer adoption program is highly efficient, allowing us to distribute hundreds of devices in just a few hours. Distribution events are held in partnership with community-based organizations, bringing devices to the neighborhoods that are most in need and eliminating barriers of time and transportation. The computers are free to recipients. To qualify for a computer, a family must not have access to a working computer at home and must have a child in pre-k-12 education (up to age 26). Families are then selected to receive a computer through a lottery system. Computers come with two years of free tech support.compudopt has been in the device access and digital inclusion sector for over 16 years with an evidence-based record of successfully deploying tens of thousands of computers to under-resourced communities across the country. To satisfy the demand for devices, compudopt has developed the internal capacity to collect, refurbish, and redistribute surplus and retired computers from several physical sites in the u.s.
Tech education - we teach hands-on curriculum-based programs to 1st-12th grade students on school campuses and at community sites, building their confidence in using new technologies and helping them develop skills aligned with high-demand careers. Each cohort serves up to 15 students and they attend one to two sessions per week over 10-12 weeks or camp sessions over school breaks for 20-25 hours. Each student who graduates from our 3rd-12th grade programs receives a free computer.
Connectivity - connectivity is a critical component to solving the digital divide. Compudopt offers a sustainable and long-term connectivity solution for communities. This technology infrastructure allows households the opportunity to connect for free to 50mbs download speed enabling every individual family member to access distance learning, virtual enrichment, telehealth, apply for jobs, upskill, and access the wealth of other services available only online. Our goal is to help the most under-connected get quality service. We know that it's more than just affordability that can hold families back from access; it's about trust, relevance, and sustainability. We've seen that simply taking the time to really listen to our community members and providing hands-on case management substantially increases their confidence and ability to get connected.
