Founded in 1911, the TelecomPioneers is the world’s largest industry-based volunteer organization. The 750,000 members (20,000 in Canada) of the Pioneer organization are employees and retirees of the telecommunications industry. The Pioneers mission is to “build healthy communities”. Our programs target needs in areas of education, health and human services, life enrichment and the environment. Although Pioneers address the diverse needs of our communities, our prime focus is on education and the e-world. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Canadian Pioneers are known for programs like “Computers for Schools”. While strongly focused on educational programs, Pioneers also work to improve life for homeless people, adults and children with disabilities, people requiring basic living needs and victims of disasters. Canadian Pioneers are making a very positive and significant impact on Canadian society. We believe with our efforts we are “Pioneering the Future”

Co-founded in 1993 by Industry Canada and the TelecomPioneers, Computers for Schools (CFS) is a national, volunteer-based initiative that collects, repairs, and delivers surplus computers – donated by governments, private corporations, and individuals – to schools, public libraries, and non-profit learning organizations across Canada.In addition to coordinating computer donors and recipients, CFS oversees numerous repair and refurbishing centres throughout Canada, where surplus computers are cleaned, refurbished, and prepared for delivery. Workshops are staffed by recent technical graduates, students, and volunteers, including current and retired telecommunications professionals. After refurbishment the computers are distributed based on student population to the five school districts in the province, with approximately 10% allocated to public libraries and 5% to other not-for-profit learning organizations.The CFS program in Newfoundland and Labrador has grown rapidly since 1994 and in 1999 was incorporated as a separate not-for-profit corporation. This organization – Provincial Information Equipment Recycling and Refurbishing Enterprises or PIERRE – has an extensive Board of Directors to manage the program with representatives from the three sectors – government, corporate, and voluntary.
