==Overview==
Free Geek's Reuse Department encompasses multiple dynamic areas which both produce refurbished technology and educate volunteers about technology. A Reuse staff person will train in multiple Reuse areas to help provide shift coverage, ensure a steady flow of gizmos for Free Geek's programs, and facilitate volunteers in workshop-style classes. This position entails involvement with Free Geek's Production committee in order to work with other departmental staff to help develop our programs and procedures.

Note: You may be a great candidate and not know it. It's more important for us to find someone who has a strong hands-on volunteer management background and an aptitude to learn nerdy stuff than for us to find a someone that speaks binary. Free Geek is an organization that teaches everyone who wants to learn about computers more than they ever wanted to know. We can teach you too.

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Self-motivation
* Strong organizational skills
* Able to lift 25 lbs repeatedly, and 40 lbs. on occasion
