Geekcorps

Geekcorps was a non-profit organization that sent people with technical skills to developing countries to assist in computer infrastructure development. The organization recruited volunteers for tours lasting from one month to over six months.

The non-profit was created in February 18, 2000 by Ethan Zuckerman and Elisa Korentayer in North Adams, Massachusetts. In 2001 Geekcorps became a division of the International Executive Service Corps located in Washington, D.C.
