Are you a social networking expert, can you tweet and use Facebook at the same time... can you IM with your eyes closed?
This opportunity is for you.
A newly retired senior is feeling socially isolated and wants to learn new computer skills and social networking. Can you teach the basics of instant messaging and other social networking tools?
If you don't know social media but do know any of the basic computer programs such as Word, Excel or Powerpoint you can also help. There are several individuals who need computer assistance.
In exchange you will reduce social isolation for someone who is hombound and meet a wonderful individual with a professional background and varied interests. Choose your own hours and volunteer at your own pace.
