give IT. get IT.

For rural Maine students, a laptop isn't just a device—it's a bridge to a better future.
In communities across Northern, Central, and Western Maine, students are overcoming incredible barriers:
→ No home internet access
→ Schools hours away from tech support
→ Families working multiple jobs to get by
→ Limited exposure to digital tools
But when these students get refurbished laptops and learn to use them? Magic happens. 🌟
Grades improve. Confidence grows. College applications get completed. Career dreams become real possibilities.
We just published a blog about how technology is transforming rural Maine education—with real stories from real students whose lives changed because someone believed every kid deserves access to opportunity.

💻 "This program not only provides technology but also gives students like me the chance to build a future that might otherwise feel out of reach."
Meet Rebecca Sanchez. Not long ago, she thought college was impossible because she couldn't afford a computer. Then give IT. get IT. gave her a refurbished laptop—and everything changed.
Today, Rebecca has her associate's degree and is finishing her bachelor's next year. 🎓
But here's the thing: 3 in 10 low-income families in Maine still can't get the devices they need. That's why we're on a mission to refurbish and distribute 25,000 devices through our Maine Tech Share initiative.
