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!
