Spanish Speaking Tech Volunteers Needed! Access to technology opens up doors to endless resources and connections. Many older adults have access to smartphones and computers but do not know how to use them. Here at Vivalon, we offer one-on-one tech tutoring, and the need is so great that we are booking out weeks in advance. We are looking for additional Spanish speaking volunteers to meet this essential need. You don’t have to be an expert in offering a much-needed service to older adults in your community! If you are comfortable using smartphones and computers, join our team of volunteers to share your skills. The ripple effects of your service are endless as you support older adults in using their tech devices to access telehealth, connect with loved ones, and participate in enriching online classes. We ask for a minimum commitment of 2 hours per week. Please also reach out if you want to teach a series of technology classes for older adults.
