Direct, local, and community-driven action geared towards ending the digital divide and conquering e-waste.
Fostering digital inclusion, environmental sustainability, and technological literacy through the reuse, education, and empowerment of communities.
Free Geek Twin Cities is a 501(c)(3) organization with a mission to sustainably reuse technology, enable digital access, and provide education to create a community that empowers people to realize their potential.
Free Geek Twin Cities is inspired by the original Free Geek Portland, founded in 1999 to tackle the growing e-waste problem. While Free Geek Portland has grown into a massive operation, Free Geek Twin Cities is still relatively young. Free Geek Twin Cities has been founded in 2010.
