Tech Squad

BAiP’s Tech Squad is a group of neighbors willing and able to help other neighbors with minor household repairs or computer tasks. Because we cannot gauge the volume of requests in advance nor the availability of our Tech Squad volunteers, requests go into a queue. Members are informed whether a volunteer is available to assist.

If you are a BAiP member and you require the assistance of one of our Tech Squad volunteers, please email techsquad@bloominplace.org or call 212-842-8831 ext. 26 and leave a message so that a volunteer can return your call.  This service is for members only.
