About Laptop Upcycle

We are a committed group of Montclair community members and professionals who have created a technology “Pied Piper” program:  We take donated laptops and give them to high school and middle school students that don’t have home computers.  Our goal is to narrow the achievement gap using a lean, efficient, volunteer-powered organization.  And, it’s green too!  In our first year, we were able to distribute 75+ laptops to kids in need. Our goal is to grow the program – we need your help!

Next Steps

If joining Laptop Upcycle sounds like something you’re interested in, let’s meet! Send an email to [email protected] and we will set up an informal get together to talk about you and Laptop Upcycle . We want your participation to be a good fit – rewarding for you and bucket-filling for us.
