They serve individuals in need by providing affordable access to computers and the internet, as well as tech support and digital literacy training to empower people to use all the tools available to meet their goals for education, employment, and beyond.



PCs for People is seeking library partners to help facilitate technology distribution (computers and/or mobile internet hotspots) and digital literacy support. Distribution models can be structured in a variety of ways, from "curbside express" pop-up events to ongoing distribution partnerships, and they are happy to adapt to the unique situations of each community and organization.
