Earn a FreeBox
Christina Rodriguez passes the test and picks up her FreeBox, the
very first FreeBox ever.
Receive a GNU/Linux computer as a token of our gratitude for a few hours of community service donated to FREE GEEK Michiana.
FREE GEEK Michiana volunteers refurbish donated computers and distribute them to the needy in Michiana.
Help us to repair and recycle computers and we will teach you any skills required. Plus you get a FreeBox of your own in appreciation for your service or earn credits toward classes.
You can earn a FreeBox by volunteering with us for as little as 16 hours. The Transpo bus terminal is three blocks from our warehouseat South Bend Warehousing and Distributing so anyone can get to our facility and volunteer.
As a volunteer, you will learn valuable skills, and the longer you volunteer the more knowledge you gain and equipment you earn.
It's great!
Call Tom Brown, 574-298-2706, Director of FREE GEEK Michiana to volunteer.
Title 1 FreeBox Classes
If your child is enrolled in a qualified Title 1 primary center in South Bend, you are eligible to take a 2-hour FreeBox class. If you pass the test at the end of the class, FREE GEEK Michiana will give you a FreeBox. The computer belongs to FREE GEEK Michiana, but you can borrow it like a library book and return it when you no longer need it.
The class is fun. The test is hands-on, not paper and pencil.
FREE GEEK Michiana is holding FreeBox classes in conjunction with the PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) in the following Title 1 schools. If you live in these school districts or neighborhoods, call the contact person listed.
