Selfhelp has a wonderful opportunity for Mandarin speakers who would like to lead online computer training classes for homebound Seniors. The Seniors are very interested in learning more about technology: using Gmail, internet research and how to use the computers that we give them. The program is all virtual so you lead classes from your computer that has high speed internet and a webcam. You will be able to interact in one hour classes (day, evening or weekend) with from 1-25 attendees!
Classes are one hour and scheduling is flexible scheduling. If you like interacting with Seniors, are patient and enjoy teaching computer topics this would be a wonderful opportunity for you.

Mission Statement
Selfhelp is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to maintaining the independence and dignity of seniors and at-risk populations through a spectrum of housing, home health care, and social services and will lead in applying new methods and technologies to address changing needs of its community. Selfhelp will continue to serve as the "last surviving relative" to its historic constituency, victims of Nazi persecution.
Description
Selfhelp is A private, non-sectarian, not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization, Selfhelp was founded in 1936 by a small group of refugees fleeing persecution during the Holocaust. Our history is rich and varied because throughout it, we have continued to respond to anyone in need. Our mission has always been to help older adults live happy, independent lives in their own homes with services that help maintain their health and safety. Today, Selfhelp offers 20,000 aging, frail and "at-risk" New Yorkers a comprehensive network of social service, senior housing and home care services. It is also the oldest and largest provider of Nazi victim services in North America. For almost seven decades, Selfhelp has dedicated itself to being a source of information, service, community, and quality home care for New Yorkers.
