Wilderness Technology Alliance - Pioneering Character and Technology Education Through Service Learning

Thursday, August 28, 2008
HOME

The Wilderness Technology Alliance (WTA) operates technology service learning programs where students and volunteers gain work-based learning experiences by providing valuable technology products and services to their school or local community.  The WTA also trains teachers, students and community leaders to operate technology service-learning programs and Community Technology Centers (CTCs) in their schools and community organizations.  

Most programs are run as "WildTech" student enterprises that generate revenue to self-sustain and grow. This makes learning relevant and highly motivating. It addresses critical technology, citizenship, business management, entrepreneurship and employment training needs. The WTA supports these programs with on-going training, surplus technology, wilderness leadership camps, WildTech annual conferences and more.

DONATIONS

  100% of your donation will go to program services.

Financial Donations.  The WTA serves thousands of students, low income community members and homeless people in three states.  We do this with nearly an all-volunteer staff and sustain primarily from small program-service fees.  In fact, over 93% of all funding we receive goes to program services!  Financial donations have a huge impact on our ability to expand and deepen our programs.  Click the button above to make a financial donation. 

Computer Equipment.   We accept most surplus computers, monitors and peripherals. We then refurbish them and provide them to schools and needy individuals.  We can even pick up large donations from you.  For computer donations in Washington State, call 206-242-9505.  For donations to Maryland and the District of Columbia, call 206-595-4247.  For more information, please click here.
