Technology Access

Canal Alliance hosts an open computer lab on Thursday nights staffed by a Spanish bilingual volunteer. Attendees use the computers to prepare their resumes, receive job-search assistance, and communicate with friends and family.

Since 2000, Canal Alliance has placed 300+ high-quality, reconditioned computers in the homes of Canal Alliance program participants. We partner with a local computer refurbisher, Renew Computers in San Rafael, that provides both the refurbished computers and technical support, if needed.


How can I get a Canal Alliance Refurbished Computer?

Technology Training
Take our Technology Training in Spanish and Canal Alliance will pay half the cost of a Renew Computers refurbished computer. This program enables students to have a computer at home to practice the skills they are learning in class.

Buy directly from Renew Computers
To purchase a computer without taking our Technology Training, print the following form and take it to Renew Computers. For $175 you will receive a refurbished computer with Open Office other software installed that we use in our trainings.
