Compassionate Renewal of Our Vital Resources

Get Involved

Make a direct impact on local or global education by giving to the mission of Comprenew Environmental.

All donations to Comprenew are tax-deductible.

100% of Comprenew Environmental’s profit is designated for education funding.  If you wish to donate to local education, consider how you can contribute to Comprenew Academy.  Using the business of electronics recycling as a means of demonstration and learning, we teach inner-city students within our community how strong corporate environmental stewardship is good for business.

Comprenew is a division of Worldwide Christian Schools, impacting global education by funding schools in the developing world.

 

Volunteering not only helps you do good for others, it does you some good too.

Volunteer at Comprenew Environmental

At Comprenew Environmental, we teach our students how corporate environmental stewardship is good for business through the process of electronics recycling.  To date, Comprenew is the only organization in

West Michigan incorporating this philosophy in a business apprenticeship environment to inner-city youth in our
community.

As a mentor and volunteer, you can work alongside our students to disassemble and recycle
computers and other electronic equipment. You will impact not only their lives but also the natural environment
by keeping computers and other electronics out of landfills.

The result? Last year, Comprenew Environmental prevented approximately 2 million pounds of electronic equipment from ending up in the trash.

Volunteering not only helps you do good for others, it does you some good too. Comprenew Environmental is now accepting:

  • volunteers seeking job-training
  • community service
    placements
  • companies looking
    for employee mentoring opportunities
