As a computer mentor, you would be paired with an older adult looking for one-on-one help with technology. This could be on a phone, tablet, or computer. As a mentor, you would specify the type of individuals you would feel comfortable mentoring as well as the type of technology concerns you could help address.
This commitment varies on frequency and time of day as we work to meet the needs of the older adults as they arise. Our mentors meet with individuals during the business hours of 9-5.
