Most of the questions members come with are on the basic technology side, such as how to attach photos to a text, how to manage social media, how to download a document from an email, etc. You are welcome to bring your phone and laptop for demonstrations, or to look up information.

This is a great opportunity to help older adults become more tech savvy and independent while working with a fun and interesting group of people!

We will provide a tour and training so volunteers can be comfortable and confident when working with members. Ideally, volunteers will be able to commit to multiple shifts.
