Human-I-T is a national non-profit that empowers students and institutions, ensuring that students have access to the digital resources they need to be successful, such as computers, access to high-speed internet, digital skills, and technical support, and providing institutions with a socially and environmentally responsible way to manage their decommissioned electronics, such as servers, A/V equipment, and computers.

### The Link Between Home Technology and Student Success

For many community college students, the "homework gap" is a significant barrier to academic success. Without a computer and reliable internet at home, students struggle to complete assignments, conduct research, and collaborate with peers—all fundamental aspects of modern education. Research consistently shows that students with home access to technology have a competitive advantage, leading to higher grades, better standardized test scores, and increased graduation rates.

By partnering with Human-I-T, you directly address this issue. We provide your students with low-cost, high-quality refurbished computers and affordable internet options, ensuring they have the essential tools to thrive. This support allows students to fully engage with online learning platforms, access digital course materials, and develop the critical digital literacy skills necessary for today's workforce. Our mission is to create a level playing field, giving every student the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

### Easy, Secure E-Waste Management and Social Impact

IT teams at educational institutions face complex challenges when retiring old technology. The process of managing decommissioned devices—from ensuring data security to complying with environmental regulations—can be time-consuming and fraught with risk. Human-I-T simplifies this workflow by providing a comprehensive, end-to-end solution that gives your team peace of mind.

Our services include:

* Secure Data Destruction: We provide certified data wiping for all storage devices, guaranteeing that sensitive institutional and student information is permanently erased. We provide a Certificate of Data Destruction for every asset, offering full transparency and compliance.
* Hassle-Free Logistics: We make it easy for your IT team with free, scheduled pickups and on-site e-waste management, saving you valuable time and resources.
* Responsible Recycling: For devices that cannot be refurbished, we ensure they are responsibly recycled, diverting harmful e-waste from landfills and protecting the environment.

What truly sets Human-I-T apart from other ITAD vendors is our dual mission. Instead of simply erasing data and recycling, we see every piece of technology as an opportunity. Your decommissioned electronics are securely refurbished to become the computers that a student uses for their classes, or the mobile hotspots that a family uses to connect to the internet. By partnering with us, you not only protect your data and the planet but also directly contribute to your students’ success, strengthening the very community you serve. It's a full-circle solution that aligns your institutional values with a tangible, positive impact.
