Volunteer

You do not need a computer background to contribute to Free Geek as a volunteer. We encourage people from all backgrounds to get involved. Our facility is mostly accessible, and we welcome people with different abilities. Whether you want to learn, perform community service, get school credit, earn a computer or support the cause(s), we have room for you!

Volunteer Opportunities

Our Programs

We have two main programs for volunteers. The Adoption Program is for people who want to volunteer for 24 hours in exchange for a computer. Volunteers in the Build Program learn how to build their own computer.

Internships

If you would like to make a larger commitment to Free Geek, our Internships may interest you. While Free Geek cannot pay our volunteer interns, we can offer valuable job skills training, resume assistance, letters of reference and feedback on performance. These are highly appreciated and competitive positions.

Group Volunteering

We welcome groups, schools, job skills programs, companies, or just groups of friends to volunteer at Free Geek! We offer group volunteering in multiple areas. Due to popularity of group volunteering, there may be a wait before we can fit your group in to our schedule. Currently we can best accommodate groups after 3pm. If you have a group of 4 or more that would like to volunteer with us, please complete this application form.

Community Council

The council makes overarching policy and long-term planning decisions, integrating the knowledge of the staff, volunteers, and board to decide how Free Geek should develop.

The council is made up of volunteers, staff, and board members who make a commitment to regular attendance and keeping themselves informed about the organization.

Committees

Free Geek relies on many committees/working groups to keep our organization running. If you have a specific skill you’d like to share, such as a PR or Education background, these committees might be a fine place for you to get involved.

Free Geek could not exist without its fabulous volunteers. Thanks for you interest in supporting the Free Geek mission. We’d be happy to have you as one of our 1,000 active volunteers!
