Tech Cafe Volunteer

Our Tech Cafes are two-hour events where older adults can get “technology tutoring.” They bring their smartphones or tablets and ask our volunteers basic questions, such as:

  • How do I use my new iPhone?
  • How can I manage my calendar app?
  • How can I check my voicemail?

Would you be interested in helping out? As a Tech Café volunteer, you can experience the joy of providing one-on-one support to an older adult that helps them solve challenges and feel more confident on their digital journey! 

Tech Cafés are generally held on a Saturday and are a great volunteer opportunity for High School students.
