Give people the power to be online and use technology!
A Tech Mate is a mentor who provides one-on-one support to help people learn about technology and use it confidently and safely.
If you can send an email, surf the web or change a password on a device, you can join a community of volunteers who are helping people get online. You don’t need to be an IT expert.
All you need is at least one hour per week, patience, and the ability to teach someone the basics. We provide orientation, training and ongoing support.
Day and time of mentoring is set between the learner and the Tech Mate and will occur on a schedule as agreed by yourself and the Learner. This varies dependent on schedules and necessity.
You must consent to a National Police Check and be able to provide a Covid Vaccination Certificate. In some instances you may also need a Working With Children Check.
We provide people with an opportunity to contribute and engage with local communities through volunteering with our Tech Mates program. We believe in the power of civic engagement and the commitment to delivering an inclusive and positive environment for our volunteer team.
We offer ongoing training opportunities, support and recognition for our volunteers.
Our volunteers are vital to the work we do in building digital literacy in disadvantaged communities. We believe we can improve access to online services and information through our scalable and sustainable model of mentoring. We value all feedback from our volunteers.
