Volunteer

World Computer Exchange has an incredible network of volunteers. Dubbed the "Green Geek Squad" by The Boston Globe, our 800+ volunteers are motivated and passionate about our work, lending their time and expertise to bring 21st century opportunities to youth in 77 developing countries.

And it doesn't matter how old you are. Raffi is one of our volunteers who donated his time to refurbish computers as well as his Bar Mitzvah money to help send computers to Togo.  Read more about Raffi.

On campuses, at our collection centers or working online with our Partners, volunteers help us with fund raising, press, gathering and refurbishing computers, organize projects for our sister-schools programs, recruit others to help out and much more.
