Computers4Kids (C4K) is different from other computer distribution programs. Each youth who receives a computer will also be matched with a mentor. The mentor meets with the student once a week to provide educational support and serve as a role model and advocate.

Mentors are adults who, along with parents, provide young people with support, counsel, friendship, positive reinforcement and constructive example. Mentors are good listeners, people to care, people who want to help young people bring out strengths they already have.

If you are interested in becoming a C4K mentor, please fill out the mentor application. Since mentors will be working with area students, all mentors undergo a standard background check before becoming C4K mentors. Mentors attend an orientation program that gives them the information and tools they need to become a C4K mentor. Then, based on a mutual fit with mentor and student skills and interests, you'll be matched up with a C4K student.

We have had problems with our online mentor and volunteer applications. If you do not receive confirmation of receipt within two buisness days, please contact us: info@computers4kids.net or give us a call - 434-817-1121.

Send in your application, or if you have questions, please contact the C4K office (info@computers4kids.net; 434-817-1121).
