Hi. We’re Free Geek Toronto.

Free Geek Toronto is a not-for-profit employment social enterprise dedicated to advancing digital inclusion in the Greater Toronto Area. We seek out electronic waste donations from individuals and organizations, refurbish computers and other reusable technology, and resell them at accessible prices. We support women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). We believe in the strong societal impact of a circular economy and are proud to have worked in this space for over a decade.

Free Geek Toronto is looking for three (3) enthusiastic and engaged volunteers to serve on our Board of Directors.
