Compudopt

We are a national nonprofit that empowers communities through technology access and education.
Compudopt is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization founded in Houston, Texas in 2007, on the belief that every child deserves equal access to education and opportunity. Our mission is to provide technology access and education to underserved youth. The idea for Compudopt began with our founder and president John Osha, who realized that the life cycle of computers in corporate environment is typically less than three years. When they no longer meet the needs of corporate teams, they are usually shelved, stuck in a closet, or sent to a landfill. But these lightly used tools can be a dream come true for young learners who lack access to a computer at home and are ready to broaden their skills and knowledge. As Compudopt’s first educational offering, we began refurbishing used computers, loading them with free educational software, and distributing them to children in underserved communities across the Houston area. Over the past thirteen years, Compudopt has distributed over 48,688+ refurbished computers to young people and added opportunities for students to learn that expand our impact beyond computer distribution to include technology education.

Did you know that in 2007, Compudopt started as a Houston-based nonprofit to provide technology access and education to under-resourced youth? Since then, we have grown to expand our technology access and education programs to under-resourced youth and adults nationally.
However, is where the heart (and headquarters) is.
