We help with

  • Phones and tablets

    Setting up a new phone, a passcode you forgot, apps that won't install, or a phone that says storage is full.

  • Computers and laptops

    Slow machines, pop-ups that won't go away, printers that won't print, and Wi-Fi that keeps dropping.

  • Accounts and passwords

    Locked out of your email? We'll sit with you until you're back in.

  • Online safety

    Not sure if a text, email, or call is a scam? Ask us before you click or pay. Private device safety checks for survivors.

  • Getting online

    Finding internet you can afford, setting up a hotspot, and using free Wi-Fi safely.

  • Essential services

    Doctor portals, benefits applications, job sites, school portals, and video calls with family.

How it works

    Fill out a short form. No account, no eligibility check, no cost. Tell us what's going on in your own words.

    A volunteer reaches you within 1 business day by email, text, phone, or video, whichever you prefer.

    Fixed

    We stay with you until it works. If it takes more than one session, we book another. Still free.

Nobody is turned away

We’re new, volunteer-run, and just getting started across the United States. We put these folks first, but anyone can ask:

  • Seniors and anyone new to smartphones or computers
  • Low-income families and students
  • People with disabilities who need accessible setups
  • Immigrants and people still learning English
  • People without stable housing
  • Survivors who need a device safety check

What a session looks like

You send us a note: “My phone says my password is wrong and I can’t see my grandkids’ photos.” The next morning a volunteer texts to set up a call. On the call, they go slow, one tap at a time, and never ask for your password. Twenty minutes later you’re back in, and you have a way to get back in next time, too.

Help us help more people

Volunteer from anywhere

If you can reset a password and explain it kindly, you can help. A couple of hours a month makes a real difference. Everything happens remotely.
