AgeWell at the Jewish Community Center in Squirrel Hill and in the South Hills are seeking volunteers as "tech tutors". How the tech tutoring program works: AgeWell JCC members make an appointment with AgeWell staff, specifying their technology needs (help with phone, tablet, laptop, etc.) Staff will schedule time with member and tutor. Topics covered will vary per member need (how to download an app, how to do email, use social media, etc). Volunteers will aid in closing the digital divide, and support seniors’ use of technology to address their health and social needs.
Requirements: Tutors must have at least an intermediate digital literacy knowledge base, have an interest in working with older adults, and ability to commit at least 1 hour per week at a regularly agreed upon time day/time (M-F anywhere from 10am-5pm).
