"By the end of the decade over a billion computers and electronic waste will have to be recycled.  In simple terms, this is stuff people just don’t want.  But if you look beyond what is unwanted and in disrepair, a keen eye can see value and purpose.  Not unlike the homeless within our communities, one must look beyond their obvious plight and see that untapped trove of talent that can be discovered and realized.  We continually seek innovative ways to create jobs and opportunities for at risk individuals who are willing to make a positive change in their lives, and the environment that we live in."

URC's Computer Training Program consists of courses in computer literacy, computer refurbishing, rebuilding and recycling. Classes incorporate a combination of hands on technical training and practical classroom theory. Upon graduation each student will receive a computer, which they have personally rebuilt. Additionally, they will leave with the knowledge and skills needed to successfully enter the work force.

All of the Computers and Materials used in our Training Program are provided by our generous Donors.  We at Urban Renewal would like to thank all of our Donors for the continued support of our program.  To become a Donor to Urban Renewal please contact us.
