Free computer advice and repair events

Government, nonprofit, business and individuals committed to increasing access to the resources of broadband Internet.

In San Francisco's Tenderloin district, amid liquor stores and boarded-up buildings, a partnership of nonprofits earlier this month sponsored the first "Tenderloin Tech Day." The half-day workshop was open to anyone in the low-income neighborhood with a tech problem. CNET News.com's Kara Tsuboi stopped by and chatted with people about their broken laptops, software-less hard drives, and their first-ever Internet experiences.

The Computer Help Days are possible with generous funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act within the US Dept of Commerce and the California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF). CETF Provides leadership statewide to minimize the Digital Divide by accelerating the deployment of broadband and other advanced communication services to underserved communities and poplulations.

This year, the Department of Commerce will match the donations we receive. Please donate today.
