Volunteers assist older people with non-emergency technology troubleshooting. Tasks may include troubleshooting Internet connections, setting up new devices, problems with email, installing applications, printer/scanner problems, password retrieval, etc. Ideal volunteers will be excellent communicators, keen observers, patient, and enjoy working with older people. Times of service are mutually agreed upon by the volunteer and resident. Volunteers complete a background check and training, and receive ongoing supervision.
