Tech Savvy? Put Your Skills to Good Use!

Tech tutors will work with patrons who attend the weekly drop-in program on Sundays for up to 30 minutes at a time. A short tech help training will be provided to all volunteers by the College Hill program coordinator. Tutors can volunteer weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
