All CTN volunteers receive training to help them understand how to work with adult learners and ongoing support to ensure their success. Volunteers must be over 18 and go through a mandatory background check to work with older adults.
What do we need from you?
- 1-2 hours a week for 12 weeks
- Intermediate-level digital skills
- A high level of patience
CTN’s volunteer program fosters intergenerational relationships, builds leadership and teaching skills, and creates a sense of community. By teaching others how to navigate the internet, you will empower them to:
- access essential resources (telehealth, information, news)
- connect with friends and family
- and explore their interests online
You will reduce isolation and feelings of loneliness. Above all, you will equip them to feel more confident, curious, and capable.
Virtual volunteers must be over 18 and a US resident to go through a mandatory background check to work with older adults.
Both remote and in-person opportunities (in San Francisco) are available. Are you fluent in Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, Russian, Tagalog, Vietnamese or Korean? We especially need your help!
