Our non-profit volunteer program is called "Kids Who Code / Code Squad". We are a free after-school program addressing the disparity in computer teaching and learning code in the classroom. We teach kids from all backgrounds in our area how to code, from 3rd grade through high school!

This year, we are switching our format from small, satellite groups to one big group we host on campus, so we can get students excited about learning together and grow a community. We are quite desperately looking for a slate of Chromebooks / small laptops that we would keep on-site for these students to use, since many of them may not be able to bring or afford their own computer. We would keep these secure on campus for the purpose of this volunteer effort. We have sourced the location as well as the volunteers, and are now just searching for a slate of 40-50 laptops. Being non-profit and not financially supported by the school, we are left to source our own funds. We would really appreciate any and all help, and I know the students will appreciate it even more.

We would be more than happy to include your logo on some of our promotional materials as well to help your effort. Thanks so much!
