What we do and why

At Tekonnect, we build / refurbish gently used computer systems and parts, giving them new life. These systems are then donated to students at local colleges who lack these critical resources.

Many going to college are doing so to enact positive change in their lives toward the future. Along with that, some are going through some pretty difficult challenges to make that change occur.

The digital divide is very real. Working with the college, we have become acutely aware of some of the struggles that students face. One of the most common challenges that we hear about is the lack of computer resources, at home, to complete assigned work. As we have adapted to a mostly online environment, this struggle has been amplified exponentially.

TeKonnect was formed to help address some of these challenges. Our goal is to solicit donations and grants from the local community in order to provide students with computer resources to complete their assigned work. Please read our 'About' page to hear more about our goals and how we operate.
