Join us in assisting low-income individuals and groups who need computers. First Time Computers accepts donations of used computers and computer equipment. We put them together into high quality systems for low income families who can't afford to buy them and for non-profits with programs for low income children and youth.

Our refurbishing is done entirely by at-risk youth we have trained.

Our mission is to enhance the educational and employment prospects of low-income children and youth by widening their access to the world of technology. We seek to build their educational resources by [1] providing ready access to computers at home and [2] assisting community non-profits seeking to build computer access for the children and youth they serve. We seek to improve their employment prospects by offering training programs in computer refurbishing and repair. We build their confidence in their ability to succeed in life, ultimately taking aim at the cycle of poverty.

Our reach, at this stage, is limited to the Washington DC area.
