How You Can Help

Your involvement can illuminate countless lives.

💡 Contribute Your Expertise

Your skills can directly empower others. Here are specific ways to engage:

Volunteer

Lead technical workshops or mentor newcomers and hackathon participants. Your guidance can help shape the next generation of engineers.

Contribute Code

Collaborate on open-source projects. Your improvements can enhance tools used by a global community of developers.

Financial support sustains critical programs. Consider contributing to:

Local Aid: Regular, small donations (like weekly food contributions) provide consistent support to neighbors in need.

The Internet Archive: Support preserves universal access to our digital history—books, music, and archived web pages.

♻️ Practice Responsible Citizenship

Sustainable habits ensure a better future. Beyond recycling, being an informed citizen is key.

Recycle Correctly

Contamination ruins recyclable materials. In San Francisco, ensure items are empty, clean, and dry. Never place plastic bags, food, or liquids in the blue bin.

Return CRV Containments

Redeem California Redemption Value (CRV) on bottles and cans at dedicated centers like Our Planet Recycling S.F.

Dispose of Special Items Properly

Use the SF Transfer Station on Tunnel Avenue for hazardous waste, electronics, and large items.
