Testimonials
- "Free Geek has been greatly supportive of the youth and families that I work with. While developing important ties to the community, youth are able to develop important self esteem and job related skills. They are able to do this while earning a computer of their own which can follow them as a tool into their search for jobs in our community."
Scott Brown LCSW, Youth and Family Therapist, Counterpoint Outpatient, Morrison Child and Family Services
- "I have learned more in two weeks of volunteering at Free Geek than I have in two years of college work experience."
John Graham, Free Geek volunteer
