Compudopt helps families who don't have computers or internet skills get the technology they need to succeed. The organization gives away free refurbished computers to families without home devices. They also teach digital skills like basic computer use, internet safety, and common programs.
Compudopt runs coding bootcamps and tech internship programs to help youth and adults get good-paying jobs. They help families connect to reliable internet service too. The digital divide means millions of families can't fully participate in today's digital world because they lack devices or don't know how to use technology.
This affects their ability to succeed in school, find jobs, and participate in their communities. Compudopt removes these barriers by providing both the hardware and training people need. Their programs operate in over 15 cities across the United States, including Houston and Dallas.
By giving families technology access and skills, Compudopt helps create more equity in education and employment opportunities, especially for under-resourced communities.
