Volunteering Experience at Garibaldi Annex

Attention Grade 12 students who are in need of service hours: Garibaldi Annex is looking for students who demonstrate computer literacy to teach a group of parents basic computer operations. While these parents' skills vary, most of them would need some very basic mentoring in learning about browsing the Internet, checking and answering e-mails, and similar operations. You do not need to be a computer whiz or expert to help; however, we would like to recruit students who are patient and have good people skills.

Here are some additional details:

Number of Positions: up to six - one for each of the six time slots
Who are we assisting: Mostly ESL parents who have limited computer literacy
Time: alternating Mondays: 1st or 2nd period; alternating Wednesdays: 1st period (you must have a study/spare block during this time to qualify)
Location: Garibaldi Annex (1025 Slocan Street, Vancouver, B.C.)
Skills Required: basic computer literacy; ability to speak Cantonese is a bonus, but not a requirement

If you are interested, please come in to see me for further details/questions.

Remember: you need to have worked/volunteered a combined 30 hours at least to fulfill one of graduation transitions' requirements. If you know you will be short a few hours, this would be a good opportunity for you to acquire some important time towards that 30-hour requirement.
