TECH CORPS is the leading national non-profit mobilizing technology volunteers into schools, offering tech support and teacher training. We offer high quality technological resources that enrich K-12 teaching and learning and prepare tomorrow's workforce. Founded in 1995 and sponsored by such companies as Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and YES Network, TECH CORPS engages a nationwide network of thousands of technology volunteers. TECH CORPS was founded in 1995 by Gary J. Beach, Publisher of CIO Magazine. Beach envisioned an organization which would challenge millions of American volunteers to build a technology infrastructure much like the Peace Corps challenges men and women to help build infrastructure in developing countries. In a recent year, TECH CORPS state chapters deployed some 6,000 volunteers into 1,500 schools nationally, accumulating nearly 100,000 volunteer hours, providing roughly $5 million of tech support and teacher training. |
