Organization Description
NextStep recognizes that the ability to use technology is becoming increasingly important in the workplace. Jobs in the rapidly growing information technology sector pay almost 80 percent more than the average private sector wage!
NextStep understands that social and economic injustice, racial and ethnic inequality, and ecological loss affect all people. Through cooperative effort, individuals of all cultures can experience and enhance their ability to make a difference in their community and their world. NextStep seeks to create a network of people and organizations committed to addressing the digital divide and the impact electronics waste has on our global environment.
By providing participants the opportunity to learn about the power of technology and the impact waste technology has on our society, NextStep seeks to assist human and community development. By creating a network of people and organizations, NextStep also seeks to enhance participants’ impact on issues of local concern.
NextStep:
1. educates and empowers low income and disadvantaged Oregonians and others by providing refurbished computers that allow access to technology and the Internet;
2. recycles computer hardware and other electronics in an environmentally sound manner, keeping hazardous waste out of Oregon’s soil and water environments;
3. provides skill-training opportunities to those who are considered unemployable, are currently underemployed, and/or are people new to the job market; and
4. offers education to the general public regarding the importance of electronics and polystyrene foam recycling and the impact of these kinds of waste on our environment.
