Are there any programs in WA state that would provide home computers for exceptional students?

COMPUTER HARDWARE SKILLS PROGRAM:
Our most popular volunteer program. Through hands on learning volunteers learn about computer components, how to fix computers and how to install hard drives, memory, software and operating systems. Anyone who completes the 30-hour computer skills program receives a free computer set including:

Refurbished 1.1 to 1.2 Ghz Pentium III desktop computer
Windows XP Pro Operating system
Microsoft Office software suite
17" CRT monitor, keyboard, and mouse
Computers include a software package that allows users to access the Internet via a dial up modem for free.

Perhaps if a student is not of the age to volunteer, maybe the parent or other adult, could volunteer and thus obtain a computer.
