EARN A COMPUTERFREE GEEK receives donated used computers and refurbishes them with care. They are then "adopted out" to volunteers in exchange for 24 hours of service in our recycling facility. We call this the "adoption program," and anyone willing to come down and work is eligible to join us and adopt a machine. The computer systems we create, called FreekBoxes, are loaded with the GNU/Linux operating system and other Free Software.
Our use of GNU/Linux enables our computers to run at speeds comparable with newer machines. FreekBox computers come with a wide range of software installed but are primarily designed for word processing and internet use. The FreekBox also comes with a basic class on how to use it. This is a very popular program. For more information about joining, please join one of our daily tours, which run at noon and six pm, Tuesday through Saturday. You do not have to reserve a spot on the tour - just show up! For more information on volunteering at Free Geek, read the
volunteer information page.
