About Us
We are a branch of We Care Act, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to engaging youth in community service and increasing social mobility.
WHAT WE DO
Our Mission
At WCA New York, we are dedicated to engaging students in community service and increasing social mobility. In an increasingly digitized world, our mission is to directly help underprivileged students gain an equal footing in their education by providing them with electronic devices, skills in digital literacy, and coding experience.
- Climate Action – we collect recycled technology, restoring them back to life and giving them a new home. If we cannot refurbish or restore a piece of technology to functionality, we send them back to our green recycling partner, 4THBIN
- Addressing underserved youth – we donate all technology we refurbish to underserved youth in New York City
- Bridging the income gap in education – from your donated funds, we are able to provide select technology with resources such as digital libraries and education software so students may use the most of their equipment
