Technology is rapidly changing. Computers, monitors, printers, and other electronics are all being replaced every few years.

Free Geek is where retired electronic devices can find new life. Free Geek staff and volunteers will work hard to refurbish the electronics we receive. We will maintain strict data security standards when processing any data-bearing devices that pass through our facility. By choosing us as your e-cycler, your electronics will be properly disposed, or given back to the community through our digital inclusion programs.

Frontier College is a non-profit "charity" (not your typical college). We provide FREE tutoring to UNDER-SERVED children, youth and adults in reading, writing, numeracy, homework, and English language skills.

In Halifax, every year we train 150 "volunteer tutors" who tutor the learners in community centres, schools and libraries. We have been in Nova Scotia for over 100 years.

Our tutors can choose from a variety of different volunteer opportunities. It is fun and rewarding, and addresses a growing need in our community.

We work together in community to build informed and caring gambling practices. We are NOT anti-gambling. We raise awareness of the risks and harms gambling can cause in local communities not only for individuals, but also for communities as a whole and seek to minimize these harms. Currently we are focusing on Youth Gambling issues, raising awareness though interactive video and workshops, researching the impact of online sports betting on youth, and gathering stories from across the province to illustrate how gambling harms affect us all, particularly youth.

We serve the whole province and meet virtually so all Nova Scotians are able to participate.
