Opportunities to volunteer in WCE
World Computer Exchange (WCE) welcomes adult and student volunteers to help us gather funds, press, computers, sister-schools, and volunteers in our Chapters in Canada, the USA, and Sweden.
WCE also welcomes individuals interested in providing online help to our Partners as Programme Officers and with online support in technology, entrepreneurial telecentre management, and content development.
If you are interested in volunteering with us in either our Chapters or through online or on-site field help to our Partners please complete the form below and e-mail us a copy of your bio, resume, or CV at: PCooney@WorldComputerExchange.org
Seeking Travelers:
If you are going to a developing country that has received computers from us, please let us know. It would be very helpful for us if you would evaluate our project. it is very useful if you can take some digital pictures and write a story for us to post on our website. This makes your travel tax-deductible! We will send you a tax receipt letter for either the USA or Canada.
Seeking Environmental Interns:
World Computer Exchange ihas an ongoing project to develop additional "how-to manuals" for the responsible final disposal of the computers we donate. These "how-to manuals" will be based on information gathered on the appropriate process to follow for de-manufacturing and likely markets for the materials that become available in this process.
Once the "how-to manual" is completed, we will seek to get someone to pilot such a model computer recycling centre in Africa.
This project will be developed in consultation with the WCE Environment Committee. The final "how-to manual" will be presented to the WCE Board of Directors for approval. Good Point Recycling, and our Strategic Ally, Computer Aid International work with us on this.
WCE is seeking individual or teams of volunteer environmental interns to assist with drafting this "how-to manual" over the next year. This could possibly be done as part of an undergraduate independent study or thesis. In some graduate level environmental programs, this might also be an appropriate project. We can explore the possibility of getting approval for a work study position at your university or college.
