    Help teach adult immigrants or refugees digital learning skills. Meet people from the Twin Cities community and work with them as they build digital literacy skills and achieve their goals. Many of our students have limited computer skills, so we are seeking volunteers to assist in the classroom to build community and communication skills. There may be an opportunity to provide online training or technical support as well. Sound like something you're interested in? Volunteer as an English tutor or digital learning teacher with Vietnamese Social Services!
