Volunteer with Village in the Ville to help answer some of our aging neighbors questions about technology and help them learn how to use a new device.
The demands of everyday life now require the use of technology. Yet, some of our aging neighbors struggle with using technology. By helping to raise their technological literacy, you'd be helping them to make everyday living that much easier. Moreover, you'd be ensuring that they could stay connected with their friends, family, and our community. Staying connected is fundamental to maintaining meaningful relationships, which in turn prevents isolation and ensures better mental health.
So, if you're someone who enjoys using technology while helping to make a difference in your community, then this volunteer opportunity is for you! Not only will you get the satisfaction of making a difference by ensuring an older adult stays connected, but the satisfaction of friendship as well. That's because you'll have the opportunity to get to know whom you're helping!
Once you've become a tech helper, you'll have access to our volunteer portal, where you can sign up to help older adults in the Clintonville, Beechwold, and University District areas. We value the safety of our helpers as well as our Villagers. So, we ask that each remained masked during the tech help and stay socially distant whenever possible during the service. Of course, if you don't feel comfortable, we have other volunteer opportunities available.
If you have any questions, please contact William Jones-Kline at william.jones-kline@clintonvillecrc.org or (614) 390-4827. You can also visit our website to learn more!
