Mission Statement

The term "Mission Statement" comes up occasionally. It has been publicly advertised on the main web site since the beginning as follows:

FREE GEEK is a 501(c)(3) not for profit community organization that recycles used technology to provide computers, education, internet access and job skills training to those in need in exchange for community service.

There's also similar wording in the bylaws,reflecting Free Geek's purpose:

The primary purpose(s) of Free Geek, in furtherance of its charitable and educational purpose, shall be to recycle technology and provide access to computers, the internet, education and job skills in exchange for community service.

The following unofficial slogan is not the mission statement, but rather was coined by the media (and adapted slightly by members Free Geek):

Helping the needy get nerdy since the beginning of the third millenium.
