Computers for Success

CFS+ Nova Scotia Chapter

About the Program 

Since 1993, the Computers for Schools Plus (CFS+) program has helped extend the useful life of electronic equipment, reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste and offered practical work internships to young Canadians to help them develop advanced digital skills for the job market.

Computers for Schools Plus is a national program that refurbishes computers from government, private business and individuals for distribution to schools, libraries, registered not-for-profit learning organizations, eligible low-income families and Indigenous Communities. The Computers for Schools Plus program is a tremendous example of a green initiative with outstanding social benefits.

30+ Years of Making a Difference

The addition of "Plus" in Computers for Schools Plus (CFS+) builds on more than 30 years of success in serving communities across Canada to provide a wide range of computer equipment to an expanded audience of recipients. Originally, computers were only provided to schools. Today, the CFS+ program also provides computers and other digital devices to assist libraries, not-for-profit organizations, Indigenous communities and eligible low-income Canadians. This is achieved through CFS+, the CFS+ Internship program and the Connecting Families initiative.

The CFS+ program has made some significant changes to make it even easier for all Canadians, including youth and under-represented groups, to access the internet and acquire the skills and training needed to work in today's digital economy.

CFS+ is a win-win-win for communities, industry and the environment. CFS+ helps extend the useful life of electronic equipment and keeps e-waste out of landfills.

Effective April 1, 2026, Computers for Schools Plus will be known as Computers for Success Nova Scotia.
