Free Geek Case Study

Your dedication to the electronic waste reduction and the accessibility of technology is creating a cleaner, more connected Portland community. Through Free Geek’s green mission, you have brought together hundreds of diverse volunteers (500-600 active). The passionate people you have brought together have gained valuable skills and have improved their ability to unleash the awesome power of digital solutions. You empower the Portland community through generous hardware grants, giving qualifying community change organizations the technology they need to continue their mission of goodwill. Volunteering at Free Geek is a rewarding experience, and we would like to spread your mission to the students at the Portland Community College (PCC) Rock

We can see that you are trying to get your hands on additional discarded computers through your collaboration with Multnomah County, and that your efforts to spread positive technological change continue to increase in ambition. To spread awareness and increase the notoriety of your deserving organization, we would like to produce posters promoting your organization to the students of PCC Rock Creek campus. By spreading your mission and showing the students the skills and resources you offer, we are sure we can increase the inclusiveness of Free Geek.

PCC students desire self reliant solutions to their problems, but they many can not afford it. Your 24 hour adoption program offers a novel and impactful solution to that problem. Not only will they be able to fulfill volunteer requirements that go toward academic scholarships, they get their hands dirty for your worthy
