Our Story

Tech Exchange was founded by Bruce Buckelew, a pioneer in addressing the digital divide through green technology solutions. After retiring from IBM as a Systems Engineer and Manager, Bruce completed his Masters coursework in Educational Technology at San Francisco State University and began volunteering at Oakland Technical High School. With the help of students, Bruce began refurbishing computers to provide to families in need. For over 25 years, we have provided free refurbished computers and digital literacy training to low-income families and supported schools' and community centers' technology needs.

OUR MISSION

Tech Exchange works to ensure that all families have a computer, Internet access, and technology skills necessary to improve and enhance their lives.​ 

We are dedicated to building a community of digitally proficient Bay Area residents who can access online education, employment, health, financial, and civic services.

​

OUR WORK

​Tech Exchange sources high quality decommissioned technology from contributing partners to refurbish and distribute to households across the Bay Area.

Our Tech For All solution is designed to supply everything needed to support digitally disconnected residents with technology access. Each household receives a refurbished computer, digital skills trainings, free tech support, and assistance accessing free or low-cost Internet.
