Do you like trouble-shooting technology issues? People Incorporated’s On-site Service Coordination is looking for a Computer Lab Mentor to volunteer for 4 hours on a bi-weekly or monthly basis.

Key responsibilities include:

• Teaching residents basic computer skills.
• Teaching online job searching skills.
• Helping with trouble-shooting technology issues in a computer lab setting.

Desired qualities for a Service Coordination volunteer:

• Experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and/or who do not identify English as their primary language.
• Experience working with people who have very limited computer knowledge.
• Experience in online job searching and the application process.
• Ability to trouble-shoot technology issues is required.

Adult learning opportunities within the computer lab have been requested by several residents, so the volunteer will have the opportunity to develop programming based upon resident response. Example: Monthly resume-building workshops in lieu of general computer lab monitoring.
