There’s a Technology Center at the Neighborhood House that provides computer/internet time to anyone who needs it. The Center needs volunteers!
Help is needed during Open Lab time (10am - noon Tues - Thurs and 10am - 4pm Mon & Fri for General Open Lab; 4pm- 6pm Tues - Thurs and 4pm - 5pm Fri for Youth Open Lab). During this time, volunteers will help with administrative upkeep and assist people using computers with tasks such as homework research and job applications. Volunteers during these times are great because it allows the Technology Center to assist even more individuals!
There are also various classes provided at the Technology Center (Basic Computer Skills, MS Word, Tax Prep). Students in these classes benefit from the one-on-one attention a volunteer can give.
Volunteers do not need to be computer experts to make our classes even more successful and enriching for participants! Anyone with basic computer skills can volunteer. A willingness to encourage and learn along with students is all that’s needed! Adults, senior citizens, and even youth have volunteered in the past and made a tremendous addition to our program. The time commitment of volunteering at Tech Center is very flexible and can be as little as an hour a week or be assisting a monthly workshop.
If you are interested in volunteering or in more information, please contact the Technology Center at 206-461-4568 x 202 or email Kate Farmer at katef@nhwa.org.
