Thank You, Altadena Rotary Club!
We’re super grateful to the Altadena Rotary Club for awarding Tech Bridge for Teens a $2,500 Fire Relief Grant to help students and families in the Altadena area get access to the tech they need.
With this grant, we can provide laptops, accessories, and scientific calculators to support school and learning, especially for those impacted by the Eaton Fire.
This kind of community support means a lot. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Altadena for believing in our mission and helping us get tech into the hands of students who need it most.
Partnering with the Altadena Library
We’re excited to team up with the Altadena Library and their amazing teen librarians to help spread the word about Tech Bridge for Teens!
Look out for our flyers at the library and come visit our pop-up tables in August—we’ll be there to help students in the Altadena area get laptops and tech gear before the new school year starts.
We’re all about helping students be ready for success, and we’re so thankful to the Altadena Library for supporting that mission.
Partnering with Homeboy Electronics Recycling
We're committed to making a difference in the lives of young people and the environment. That's why we’re excited to announce our partnership with Homeboy Electronics Recycling, a social enterprise of Homeboy Industries. Homeboy Electronics Recycling is dedicated to providing sustainable solutions for e-waste disposal while creating job opportunities for individuals impacted by incarceration.
After reading Father Boyle's book, Tattoos on the Heart, and visiting Homeboy Industries in middle school, we realized the organization's impact on people's lives. Homeboy Industries is the largest gang rehabilitation and reentry program in the U.S., offering support and second chances to those looking to rebuild their lives. Through its Homeboy Electronics Recycling program, it recycles and refurbishes electronics—including laptops—while also providing meaningful work experience and training to those who need it most.
As part of our mission to support both youth and the community, we are proud to donate our non-working laptops to Homeboy Electronics Recycling. By doing so, we not only help reduce electronic waste but also support Homeboy Industries' crucial work in creating jobs and fostering second chances for people on their journey to a brighter future.
Together, we're helping young people bridge the gap to brighter futures and creating lasting change in our community.
Shout Out to Boys and Girls Club of Pasadena
Big thanks to the Boys & Girls Club of Pasadena for supporting our mission at Tech Bridge for Teens! 💙
We’re so grateful that you’ve helped spread the word by sharing our flyers and telling your students and families about how they can get access to free laptops and tech tools. Your partnership helps us reach more teens who need support—and that’s what this is all about.
Thanks for being part of the Tech Bridge community!
Spreading the Word - Eaton Fire Collaborative
We’re honored to be featured in an upcoming Eaton Fire Collaborative newsletter! 🙏
Their support helps us share our mission with more families in the Altadena community—especially those impacted by the Eaton Fire—and lets them know how to get free computers and tech gear through Tech Bridge for Teens.
We’re thankful for their recognition and for all the work they’re doing to help the community recover and rebuild.
Please help: we need laptops!
Due to the LA Wildfires, we are experiencing a massive demand for laptops, particularly MacBooks. If you can donate a gently used laptop, new laptops, or funds for the purchase of refurbished laptops, please let us know!
