Free Geek aims to provide the following community programs to those living in the Portland metro area:
* Free computers in exchange for community service
* Computers for K-12 students
* Community classes on digital skills like graphic design, online safety, hardware, and computer troubleshooting
* Hardware grants to nonprofits and community change organizations
