We are dedicated to building a diverse community of digitally proficient Bay Area residents who have full access to engage online in education, employment, health, financial, and civic services. Tech Exchange envisions a digitally connected Bay Area where everyone has the technology resources they need to thrive.

Tech Exchange advances digital equity by sourcing used computers from businesses, then refurbishing the devices at our Oakland warehouse through our parallel workforce development initiative. Once devices are ready for their second life, our multilingual program staff members work with partners to
distribute the refurbished computers to the community. Program staff also provides digital skills training, tech support, and assistance accessing affordable internet directly to individuals, both in-person at our Oakland TecHub and through our call center. Tech Exchange has a strong historic presence in Alameda County, as well as a growing footprint in San Francisco, Contra Costa, and Santa Clara Counties, serving low-income digitally-disconnected families throughout the Bay Area.
