Girls2Geeks SWOT Analysis
Good (for Free Geek) Bad (for Free Geek)

Strengths: Strengths are advantages we have that are internal to Free Geek and helpful to achieving the objective. (Good things we do.)

  • We already have the space and program in place, we just need our target group to accomplish it
  • Won't cost a large amount money; just need certificates/snacks

Weaknesses: Weaknesses are problems we have that are internal to Free Geek and harmful to achieving the objective. (Things we do poorly or not at all.)

  • We don't have a way to match people ourselves; it probably requires insurance
  • Transportation to Free Geek might be a problem for girls; timing might not work with school
  • Existing volunteers might be frustrated that we're taking up slots
  • It might create backup for production?
  • What happens for if someone misses a class?

Opportunities: Opportunities are advantages we have that are external to Free Geek and helpful to achieving the objective. (Good things that will or could happen to us.)

Threats: Threats are problems we have that are external to Free Geek and harmful to achieving the objective. (Bad things that will or could happen to us.)

  • We have to rely on other organizations for matching
