Help Lead Computer Literacy Workshops in the Bronx
After a great first computer literacy workshop in the Bronx a few months ago, we’re scaling this program up, and going to be having these workshops on a recurring basis!
We are in need of a few more volunteers to help with computer literacy workshops at a supportive housing site in the Bronx! Help neighbors learn about internet basics, email/portal access, and how to recognize scams. No special expertise is required, just comfort with computer basics.
Email caroline@openheartsinitiative.org if you’re interested in helping out!
