Old Tech Into New Futures: Big Tech & Community Power for Equity

Even in 2025, there are still families and communities in California and across the U.S. without access to a computer at home. Your old technology—and that of major businesses—can make a real difference in bridging the digital divide. Tech Exchange leverages over 30 years of experience in computer refurbishing and digital equity, partnering with corporations, government agencies, and community organizations to reduce e-waste, support a circular economy, and expand access to technology for underserved communities. Through our Serve2STEM Workforce Development Program, opportunity youth gain hands-on training in refurbishing, tech support, and digital navigation—preparing the next generation of digital leaders while empowering communities.
