The Adoption Program is our longest standing program. Through it, volunteers may earn a computer with 24 hours of volunteer time. There's information about this program on our website.

Volunteers in this program do many of our most critical day-to-day tasks, which largely do not require any prior knowledge of computers:

After adopters take the tour, they should each be given sheet listing Adoption Program Information. When they complete their 24 hours, volunteers are signed up for the FreekBox Adoption Class, where they will be united with their new computer and introduced to how it works. As part of the package, they also receive a year of tech support (assuming they have taken the class and do not substantially change the hardware or software).

Our limit is one computer per person per year; that is, you can only earn one computer, either through adoption or build, per calendar year.
