Computer Technical Support Volunteer

At Jewish Seniors Alliance we have a new computer tablet loan program which lends out new tablets to isolated seniors.

 Due the impact of COVID-19, many more seniors found themselves more alone, isolated and house bound. 

With a grant from the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver, Jewish Seniors Alliance purchased 20 new tablets to lend to isolated seniors.

 The goal of lending these tablets is to increase seniors’ connection to others, and access other services through Zoom, email, on-line learning, exercise programs, and other participatory programs.

 More advanced users are eager to learn about camera apps, spreadsheets, documents, etc. They need to learn safe, secure computing concepts for all of these activities.

 As a result, we are looking for students who have skill and experience in using computers, who enjoy visiting seniors and have an interest in teaching seniors new computer skills. Jewish Seniors Alliance will provide education about helping seniors and training, and can assist with travel costs by car or transit.

The position is to visit one or more seniors, in their homes, for one hour per week for 6-8 weeks minimally per client and then students can be assigned another client

This a great learning opportunity if you want to gain work experience teaching computers to seniors, and to make a difference in someone’s life.
