ORGANIZATION: Satellite Affordable Housing Associates

SAHA Logo
In December 2012, Satellite Housing and Affordable Housing Associates merged to create SAHA, an organization dedicated to providing quality, service-enriched affordable housing to East Bay residents.

Help elders learn to use the computer in the Community! Volunteer to tutor technology for seniors living at Beth Asher in Oakland! We are looking for a volunteer who is bilingual in Cantonese and English, and is available 1 hour every week or every month Monday or Tuesday during normal business hours (anytime between 9am -5pm).

Many of SAHA’s seniors living in affordable housing want to learn how to use their technology and have very little knowledge of how to operate and navigate a computer, a tablet and/or a smartphone. They have a strong desire and need to learn. Help these seniors operate their technology so that they can communicate with family and friends!

Requirements: Ongoing SAHA Community Volunteers must commit to volunteer for a minimum of 4 months, and must complete a volunteer orientation, volunteer forms and background screening prior to beginning their placement.
