Our Mission
We Care Tucson’s mission is to empower underserved communities by expanding access to technology, delivering hands-on youth STEM and workforce-readiness experiences, and promoting environmental sustainability through responsible recycling—building pathways to education and opportunity across Southern Arizona.
About Us
We Care Tucson expands access to technology, delivers hands-on STEM learning experiences, and promotes responsible e-recycling across Southern Arizona. We collect donated electronics from individuals and businesses, refurbish viable devices for community use, and responsibly recycle what cannot be restored, reducing e-waste while increasing digital access.
Through our Low-Cost Computer Referral Program and Student Tech Connection initiative, we place affordable laptops into the hands of students and families who need them most.
Beyond access to devices, our Youth Initiative Programs, including camps, school break STEM intensives, family workshops, and high school career exploration, build technical skills, confidence, and workforce readiness. Together, these efforts create pathways to education, employment, and long-term opportunity.
