UUVC - Computers for Kids (C4K+)

The Computer for Kids Plus (C4K+) program refurbishes computers donated by individuals, businesses, and schools, and which can be upgraded. Although the program started by serving K-12 public education students, it now serves home schooled and college students of all types, plus non-profits organizations and adults who are involved in formal adult education as well as work-related training, hence the addition of the PLUS sign to C4K+.

The C4K+ program has been a “Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher” from its early days, which means it meets strict refurbisher guidelines. After wiping the hard drive to remove all personal data files and programs, Microsoft Window 11 and LibreOffice are installed on most computers along with several useful software applications. Linux Mint (an alternative operating system) is installed on PCs that are not capable of hosting Windows 11, along with useful applications, making them fully competitive with Microsoft-configured computers.

The C4K+ program has been continuously operating since 2008 and has provided over 2,000 computers to the various categories of clients. The Unitarian Universalist Church of Hot Springs Village is the primary sponsor of the program, providing workspace, volunteers, and financial support.
