The WTA provides computers and training programs for students, homeless shelter residents and extremely low income adults in Washington DC.
There are many foundations, corporations, and government agencies that provide funding for programs like this. Yet, we do not have enough volunteers to research funders, build relationships with funders, and write grants. Many of our programs are extremely cutting edge and we have lots of capacity to providing training, but we don't have the communications people to get the word out to local churches, non-profits serving the poor, or even the media.
Thus, we are in tremendous need of fundraisers, grant writers and communications people, and can provide you with plenty of real experience in an extremely compelling setting. Best of all, most of the work can be performed remotely from your home or office, but you are always welcome to work at our offices in the shelter.

Mission Statement
Pioneering Character and Technology Education Through Service Learning
Description
The WTA engages students, the homeless, the unemployed and underprivileged populations in technology service learning. They learn valuable technology skills while serving needy populations. They operate their activities as though they are managing a real technology company (they are...albeit non-profit!), thus gain management skills and job experience leading to gainful employment. Service learning activities include:
- Computer refurbishing: Pick up quality surplus computers from generous corporations and government agencies and place then into needy schools and families. Our volunteers pickup, refurbish, deliver, and train low-income recipients of computers. Others are shipped to schools where students refurbish and place them.
- Training classes - Training community organizations in Excel, Word, Powerpoint and other popular software applications
-Students in our project-based multimedia program produce web sites for organizations in their local community. From these programs has emerged a statewide student-based technology company called "WildTech Student Enterprises". The program begins by training teachers in project-based technology curriculum, procedures, and how to act as entrepreneurs leading self-sustaining student-based technology enterprises in their schools
