    Description

    Volunteer Tech Host - Help Seniors Stay Connected (Remote)

    We're transitioning to an all-volunteer model and need tech hosts to keep our program running!

    About our participants: Primarily Black women ages 60-90 living in public housing in Brooklyn. They gather in audio-only groups for conversations, book discussions, memoir writing, health topics, and more.

    What you'll do:

    • Start Zoom meetings and call participants in by phone
    • Monitor sound quality and handle simple tech troubleshooting
    • Keep conversations running smoothly

    Time commitment:

    • 75 minutes per week, same day/time
    • Minimum 3 months (longer appreciated!)
    • Remote - volunteer from anywhere in US or Canada

    What we provide:

    • Complete training - no advanced tech expertise required
    • Chance to shadow experienced hosts before you start

    Perfect for:

    • Anyone comfortable with basic Zoom (join meetings, mute/unmute, copy/paste)
    • Reliable people who enjoy helping others
    • Older volunteers very welcome!

    The impact: For many participants, this weekly call is their only social contact beyond caregivers. Your support keeps this vital program alive.
