- Computers For Kids Coordinator
- Free Geek does not currently have one.
- Education Coordinator
- The Education Coordinator was one of the first three positions created at Free Geek, and the only one to outlast its original occupant. While many aspects of Free Geek's operations are educational, the Education Coordinator is specifically responsible for making classes and documentation available and recruiting volunteers to help. Laurel Bates is our wonderful Education Coordinator.

Sergio Garcia was converted from an Exploratory Intern position to a collective member and he is Free Geek's current Online Sales Coordinator.

- Sales Coordinator
- The Sales Coordinator is responsible for maintaining the Thrift Store. The current Sales Coordinator is Luiz Sudbrack.

- Past position to determine if a full time laptop program coordinator can sustain itself financially. Position was converted into collective staff position.
- Reuse Exploratory Position
- Past position which was intended to manage the flow of donated "oddball" gizmos and ensure maximum reuse. Free Geek determined that there was not a sufficient need for a Reuse Coordinator staff position.
- Sales Exploratory Position
- Past position to determine whether a second Sales Coordinator was needed. Sales Exploratory Intern was converted into a collective position (Co-Sales Coordinator) but when the person filling this position left Free Geek, a replacement was not hired.
