Free Geek is Hiring

Free Geek is looking for an energetic and friendly human for a paid Non-profit Apprenticeship. This part-time position is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable job skills, make a difference for people and the environment, and make connections in the community.

Our apprenticeship program is designed to give individuals without a lot of job experience an opportunity to develop their skills. Experience is not necessary for this position, but we always like folks who can maintain a positive, professional attitude while working in a chaotic environment. Those who do well in this position will not be afraid to ask questions but will be able to upkeep the area almost entirely without supervision. The Non-profit Apprentice will cross train in other areas to round out their skill sets.

For more details see the job description.

Free Geek Lends Helping Hand to Fire-Damaged School

Free Geek was pleased to be able to offer an emergency grant of computer hardware to help with the hardship of relocating Marysville elementary school. The recent fire caused nearly 500 k-8 students and teachers to scramble to move the school to Rose City Park building on NE 57th Avenue. If you would like to help out Marysville please see the following link for more information.

Pick up the Give! Guide

This year Willamette Week has chosen Free Geek to be part of their annual Give! Guide effort.

The Give! Guide is a great opportunity for Free Geek to reach out to new donors and to spread the word about our programs. We could use your help in making this a success.

You can donate online, via WW’s secure website. And just as important, you can help get the word out to your friends, relatives and coworkers by telling them about the Give! Guide, and about the work Free Geek is doing.

This past year Free Geek has seen incredible growth in our operations:

  • We are on pace to give away 2,600 computers this year, more than twice
    as many as we did in 2008.
  • We’re offering more educational opportunities, internships and hardware
    grants than ever before.
  • Not only is the volume of e-waste we’re handling higher than ever, our rate of reuse is too!

And with your help, we can continue to grow and improve in the year ahead!

Thank you.
