The Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors (SHIBA) provides free, unbiased, and confidential education and advice to King County residents on their Medicare healthcare options and health care fraud/abuse. SHIBA volunteers empower, educate, and assist Medicare-eligible people, their families, and caregivers to make informed health insurance decisions that allow them to access much-needed care and benefits. In order to connect with clients, volunteers need basic computer skills. This is why we need you!
The SHIBA Technology Support volunteer will teach other remote volunteers basic computer skills and how to use Microsoft products in both a group and one-on-one basis. Volunteers will work alongside other volunteers and the SHIBA Coordinator to develop a basic computer skills curriculum and lesson plans.
We are looking for volunteers who are...
- 18 years of age or older
- Willing and able to work with people from a variety of racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds, with various lifestyles, sexual orientations, and of all ages (especially older adults age 55+)
- Knowledgeable about and able to teach people basic use of Microsoft Outlook and Teams, and basic computer skills (e.g., search engines, video conferencing, etc.) with patience and problem-solving

Mission Statement
Our mission... Solid Ground works to end poverty and undo racism and other oppressions that are root causes of poverty. Our vision... Solid Ground believes our community can move beyond poverty and oppression to a place where all people have access to quality housing, nutritious food, equal justice and opportunities to thrive. Our values... Solid Ground is committed to working with compassion, integrity, accountability, creativity and an anti-oppression approach to end homelessness, hunger, inequality and other barriers to social justice. We value collaboration and leadership from the communities we serve.
Description
Our history...
Solid Ground was founded in 1974 by community leaders and concerned citizens of one of Seattle's then most economically devastated neighborhoods, Fremont. Originally called the Fremont Public Association, our services - emergency food bank, clothing bank, and employment program - reflected the desperate needs and determined response of a mobilized and committed neighborhood.
Solid Ground today...
As the scope and severity of homelessness and poverty have increased over the years, so too have our reach to our greater community and our range of services. Now based in Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, our 30 programs and services help more than 60,000 households each year overcome poverty and build better futures throughout King County and beyond.
