Tech Cafe Volunteer
Our Tech Cafes are two-hour events where older adults can get “technology tutoring.” They bring their smartphones or tablets and ask our volunteers basic questions, such as:
- How do I use my new iPhone?
- How can I manage my calendar app?
- How can I check my voicemail?
Would you be interested in helping out? As a Tech Café volunteer, you can experience the joy of providing one-on-one support to an older adult that helps them solve challenges and feel more confident on their digital journey!
Tech Cafés are generally held on a Saturday and are a great volunteer opportunity for High School students.
