Our core mission is to provide computers to underserved people and communities around the world. From our Seattle-based computer recycling and reuse programs to schools and organizations far and wide, we make a connection that makes a difference. We create opportunity through technology.

Description:
We provide high quality, no cost and low cost Internet services, refurbished computers, and Internet and computer training programs.
The InterConnection Computer Reuse and Learning Center makes proper use of the tons of electronic items that are discarded daily. The Center teaches computer maintenance and repair skills to local community members, donates computers to people who complete our computer skills program and provides refurbished computers to non-profit organizations locally and abroad. InterConnection also sponsors a Virtual Volunteer program, in which web designers around the world are matched with organizations from developing countries who need websites.

History:
InterConnection was founded in February 1999. The organization has grown to include a pool of over 100 Virtual Volunteers; it has supported over 70 organizations in 23 countries, and it has partnered with several international development organizations. Over 1,800 people have become volunteers at InterConnection's Computer Reuse and Learning Center. In 2007 alone InterConnection recycled 3,471 monitors, 163,466 pounds of computers, and 65,630 pounds of printers, scanners, and other peripherals.
