501-c-3 TECHNOLOGIES PROJECT
History: Our computer refurbishing program was started by an individual that we gave an opportunity to get back into the working force at his own pace. We have been developing the concept to refurbish donated computers from corporations, and offer a training program for individuals that cannot afford a computer system to volunteer and earn credits towards a system.
Teams Together's 501-c-3 Technologies Training Program allows individuals to learn how to refurbish donated computers and gives them a hand up in the marketplace to be employable again. They are also eligible to earn credits towards their own computer system.
Our 501-c-3 Technologies Volunteer Program allows individuals to earn credits towards a computer by working in our Refurbishing Center. They work at their own level of competency: customer assistance, receive donations, stock shelves, or janitorial. This part of the program allows them to have ownership with their computer, not another hand out; it costs them something.
Teams Together is a recognized Microsoft Refurbisher, which allows us to pre-install Genuine Microsoft software, that recipients would normally need to purchase in addition to their new computer.
After receiving eligibility of their computer, classes are available to learn how to use their new computer, software and maintaining it. At any time, recipients may volunteer for credits to upgrade their software. They are only eligible for a new computer every 3 years unless special circumstances are met.
This is a three-fold solution: reducing e-waste by re-purposing re-training individuals, and help those in need obtain an updated computer to assist their school or work with dignity.
