Minnesota Tech for Success

A big thank you to the amazing volunteer group from ZinPro for spending time with us and helping support our mission of digital equity. Their hard work in our warehouse helps us refurbish more computers, recycle technology responsibly, and connect more Minnesotans with the devices they need for school, work, and everyday life.

Looking for a way to give back this summer?

Gather your coworkers, friends, or family and come volunteer in our warehouse! Volunteers play an important role in keeping e-waste out of landfills and helping us prepare refurbished technology for people across Minnesota.

With schools across Minnesota now on summer break, many are beginning to assess their technology needs for the upcoming school year.

This summer, we're seeking businesses that are ready to donate their used technology. By refurbishing devices now, we can help our school partners prepare before the busy back-to-school season and ensure students have the technology they need to succeed.

If your organization has laptops, desktops, or other technology to retire, consider donating them to Minnesota Tech for Success. Your donation can help Minnesota students start the school year connected and ready to learn.
