Our Mission

The Computers4Kids program mission is to improve the educational outcomes of low income students attending Washington Unified School District by placing computers in the homes of 4th-8th graders. Each computer will be, minimally, a Pentium III or better and have a floppy drive for transferring files between home and school. All computers will be loaded with an operating system, and compatible applications for word processing, spreadsheets tasks, complementary virus protection, and be adequate for Internet connectivity.
