California ETEC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing educational technology equity across California — ensuring every student has access to the digital tools, skills, and opportunities they need to succeed in the 21st century.
California ETEC (Educational Technology Equity Center) works to close the digital divide in California's public schools by providing technology access, teacher training, and digital literacy programs to underserved communities. We believe that technology equity is education equity.
"Technology will not replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational."
— George CourosTo advance educational technology equity in California by providing underserved schools with technology access, teacher professional development, and digital literacy programs.
A California where every student — regardless of zip code or family income — has equal access to the digital tools and skills needed to thrive in school, career, and civic life.
We take a comprehensive approach: donating refurbished devices, training teachers in effective technology integration, and providing students with digital literacy curricula that build real-world skills.
Our programs address every dimension of the digital divide — from device access to teacher training to student digital literacy.
We refurbish and distribute computers and tablets to underserved California students, and work with partners to provide affordable internet access to families who need it most.
