Com2Tech aims to work alongside communities to help reduce the barriers of digital inclusion; create safe spaces within our communities where people can go to get local technology support; and to help our children and their counterparts utilise their knowledge of technology for the good of their communities.
They offer free drop-in sessions for the community to come along and get help with their digital skills. In this role, volunteers might engage in the following tasks:
You will receive an orientation and any training necessary before you begin the role.
This role will increase your communication skills, particularly when working with community members, but also working within a team. Language and descriptive skills will also be learned and you will need to be patient with a good sense of humour. Your support will help community members be more connected and feel more confident in using technology, making a difference for life!
Neighbourhood Digital Resilience
Com2Tech works with many community centres who are keen for digital support drop-ins, but they are time poor. If you're keen and have the necessary skills, they might train you to support your local community centre or group, and you can play a part in building digital resilience within your own neighbourhood.
A ideal candidate for this role would be:
Experience with google classrooms would be preferred but they can train in this if you're unfamiliar.
A Police background check is required for this role.
Several time and location options are available. Please enquire when applying for this role.
The first step is to express your interest by filling out the form below. We will then put you in touch directly with the organisation for more information on the role and how to proceed.
