Nowadays, everyone has a computer, phone, or tablet, but not everyone knows how to use them with ease. That's where you come in! You don't need to be an expert, you just need to know the basics to pass on these skills. Mentor an adult learner in foundational device-related concepts and help them build confidence in understanding how to navigate them. From basic operational functions like turning devices on and off to practical applications used to improve efficiency in work—like using email, spreadsheets, documents, and everyday internet safety—learners can gain the knowledge and skills needed for daily life, employment, and further training. If you are interested in supporting an adult learner in developing their digital knowledge and device-related skills, and you live in the Edmonton area, we would love to hear from you! Project Adult Literacy Society (PALS) is looking for adult volunteers who are willing to tutor an adult learner for 2 hours a week. Tutoring can be in-person at the PALS office or at a local library. Times and days are based on your schedule. Training, materials and continuous support are provided at every step.
