I know that this is off topic but since there are many techies here, I
figured that I'd ask.  Has anybody here had any experience with doing any
computer related volunteer work in the Los Angeles area?  I googled the
topic and came up with some results but I really don't know what to look
for or which organizations are good.

Oh, and also, what are some good places to donate/recycle used computer
hardware?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Mike



Mike, I do not know what is available in the Southern Cal area, but in some areas of the country
The Boy Scouts of America under the flag of the "Learning for Life Corporation" sponsors Explorer
Posts. In the Tampa, Florida area, I have been the "Executive Advisor" for an Advanced Computer
Programming post where I work with 14 to 21 year old "young adults". If you do not want to work
with that program, you could always check with the local school system, Boy and girl clubs, etc.


I have found that trying to teach (and structure) young programming minds has been a real challenge
and I have learned more trying to teach them then I had to know for my full time job. You can see
some information about our program by visiting http://post227.org and/or http://post227.net


Any questions - contact me off net - you can find my email address there and many other places.
