We now live in a world of constant and accelerating ecosocial crises where local and global injustices, problems, and burdens are interconnected and can no longer be ignored. New forms of social relations have emerged from a need to address these issues while meeting the needs that arise from them. Functional community organization has emerged as a community practice method that can operate as a way to meet the needs, interests, and unique identities of a community while addressing its interrelated issues, conditions, and/or common concerns. This organizing can, in turn, foster and facilitate mutualistic cycles of empowerment and community organization. However, these theories and practices are understudied in the wider academic literature. Additionally, the glocalized ecosocial issues of the e-waste problem and digital inequality, poverty, and community disempowerment and how community technology centers, such as the study case, FreeGeek Chicago, may organize to address them through functional community organization practice, are also understudied. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to (1) better understand FreeGeek Chicago, functional communities, and functional community organization theory through exploration of how individual, collective, and community empowerment and community organization occurred and how the ecosocial issues of digital inequality and the glocal e-waste problem were addressed through community empowerment and community organization; and (2) to examine and expand the functional community organization model. Findings showed functional communities can be broken into theoretical functions and sub-functions that can be characterized by the concepts of task group organizing, adjustment organizing, and an expansion of the term interpersonal networking. Community organization and empowerment occurred through (1) interpersonal organizing around providing affordable, accessible, and re-used ICTs to the community; (2) promoting and providing ethical e-waste re-use, re-purposing, and recycling; (3) promoting and providing public education and skill-sharing to the community; and (4) promoting community building, empowerment, and organization. Digital inequality and the glocal e-waste problem were addressed through interpersonal organizing around the shared needs, interests, identities, and/or common concerns of FreeGeek Chicago and the city, and empowerment processes came out of, fed back into, and reinforced, the strengths of relationships that underpinned the organizing.
