Opportunity Details

2020 Devices Drive for Women in Need

For many years, the YWCA Women's Residence Awakenings Program has served women who are homeless, have a history of substance abuse, and have been re-incarcerated to help them reintegrate back into the community. Unfortunately, when this program transitioned from an in-person to a virtual model, participants were left with little support due to their inability to access technology and WiFi.

Volunteers are needed to donate their tablets, laptops, and hotspots to help the women of the Awakenings Program access the services they need. These donations will help them attend their outpatient treatment groups for mental health, substance abuse, and AA/NA meetings. The devices will also contribute to educational and vocational training.

To donate:

  1. Express interest below to record this opportunity in your Volunteer New York! profile
  2. Unlock and wipe all devices of your personal data before donating. The volunteer coordinator will follow up with details about how to donate and where
