Description

In 2025, Computer Reach celebrated its 25th anniversary! Executive Director Dave Sevick speaks with Jim Cunningham about helping bridge the "digital divide" and improving digital literacy.

Dave talks about his work as an Apple consultant and using those skills to help his local school district, which inspired him to start Computer Reach. Computer Reach makes technology available to people most in need through refurbished equipment, computer literacy, training, and support. Dave discusses working with communities in the East End, where Computer Reach is headquartered, and reaching individuals throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area. He also encourages listeners to donate any and all computers, especially laptops, to help with their efforts in providing computers and internet to community members.
