ComputerCorps

In 1990, the co-founders Ron Norton and Judy Feaster gave a computer to a 72 year old widowed gentleman. This event dramatically changed his life by providing him with an exciting new purpose for living. For the next 8 years, he spent hundreds of hours learning, teaching and helping other seniors about computers.

The ComputerCorps organization was formed in 1997 when a group of volunteers got together to help put recycled computers back into the community and not into the landfills. These older generation computers were tested, repaired, refurbished, upgraded and then donated at little or no cost to seniors, at-risk children, low-income families, displaced workers and disabled individuals.

The ComputerCorps organization started with 2 volunteers. Since 1997, more than 5,000 volunteers have donated more than 500,000 hours to helping others obtain and learn about computers.

The ComputerCorps organization is organized exclusively for charitable, environmental and educational purposes.
ComputerCorps is an internationally recognized 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization dedicated to providing access to computer technology and skills training for under-served families, while eliminating electronic waste from our nation's landfills.
