Who are we?
Tech Exchange (formally known as Oakland Tech Exchange West and OTX) has been dedicated to championing digital equity and accessibility for under connected families in the Bay Area and surrounding cities since 1995. Our unwavering commitment centers on a sustainable and eco-friendly model, where we refurbish donated computers and put them in the hands of families, schools, and community organizations. While also offering comprehensive digital training, promote broadband adoption and awareness, and provide multilingual tech support.
Our mission is to empower communities through technological inclusion, while fostering a more equitable, sustainable, and connected future.
Tackling Two problems with one
Eco-Friendly Solution.
Digital Divide
We tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time: the digital divide. Millions of families are left on the wrong side of this divide, unable to access the opportunities that come with technology. We believe that access to technology is not a luxury; it's a fundamental right. That's why we're dedicated to connecting these unconnected families by repurposing computers.
