Help Kids Get Computers & Learn Tech Skills

Compudopt helps families who can't afford computers by giving them free devices and teaching tech skills. This organization works to close the digital divide so all kids and adults can succeed in our digital world. Volunteers help prepare donated computers, run events where families get computers, teach basic computer skills, and mentor youth in coding camps. You can volunteer for flexible 2-4 hour shifts on weekdays or weekends. Some roles need background checks and training. Whether you're good with technology or just care about fairness in education, there's a way to help. Volunteers clean and test computers, help at distribution events, provide tech support, teach computer skills to youth and adults, and support coding classes. The organization operates in Houston and other cities across the country. Most volunteer work is in-person, but some mentoring can be done online. This is perfect for people who like hands-on work, want to support equal access to technology, enjoy teaching or mentoring, and believe everyone deserves access to computers and tech skills.
