  • more FG's
  • more FG's that are sustainable, and more advice (Franchise Coordinator or Ambassador)
  • more artistic expression on boxes (i.e. FG stencil or paint option)
  • GAP program growth
  • more community partnerships with non-profits, maybe adoption volunteers can volunteer elsewhere
    • this could be accomplished by sending out store spec boxes
  • more partnerships with businesses that donate large amounts of stuff
  • pickups (fleet of vehicles?!)
    • scheduled neighborhood pickups
  • FG more accesible / reach broader audience
  • more variety of volunteer programs (especially real-life skills)
  • open 7 days a week
  • stay small scale and spread faster
  • more efficient FG (full floor staffing all the time)
  • more paid interns gaining actual job experience (can complement full floor staffing)
  • satellite thrift store(s) & drop-off locations or partner with local second-hand stores
    • could turn into branch FG's in PDX-area
  • better administration coverage (facilities, systems admin, bookkeeping)
  • schduleding software (Richard/Dave quits if we don't get this within 5 years)
  • more programs for geeklets (kids)
  • cleaner, including clutter AND dirt (central vacuuming for build & eval)
  • mobile, fly-by-night FG in a box
  • clarify the 'community technology' aspect
    • i.e. what people can do other than volunteer here and make that clear & welcoming (internet use)
  • more volunteer rewards - fun stuff to retain volunteers (untraditional is better)
  • certifications (i.e. better education)
  • be more embracing of software replacing tasks
  • better recognition of FG
  • low-tech solutions before high-tech solutions
  • more detailed recycling (take apart more stuff)
  • make recycling more educational (what is this, where would it go if not recycled, etc?)
    • this would be very good for schoolkids (geeklets) to learn
  • a facility we own
  • FG stamp of approval for other businesses (particularly e-waste biz)
  • better routing of people to appropriate places they want to do
  • classes classes classes
  • grantwriter on staff
