FOR VOLUNTEERS

JOIN THE MOVEMENT!

Fancy being a Coach?

Are you patient, friendly and good at troubleshooting?

The most important aspect of volunteering is being able to relate to seniors, be kind, and articulate clearly and simply.

Since 2018, our amazing volunteers have collectively given over 5,110 hours to help 3,577 seniors in 786 hubs across North and East Auckland, Wairarapa, and Kāpiti.

Volunteers don't need to be experts or have a lot of tech skills; just enough to teach others some technology basics and know where to find helpful information online, working together with our seniors.

You'd be supporting seniors to navigate a range of technologies, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. We teach rather than do - every coaching session is a learning experience for the senior.

Coaching requires a commitment of a regular two to three hours a week (or in some cases fortnightly/ monthly), in which you would come to a trusted local space.



“I have been volunteering with Digital Seniors for 3 years. I enjoy helping Seniors who have been thrust into the Digital World. With our “Guide on the side” approach, it is pleasing to see seniors start to enjoy and embrace technology. The best thanks I can get is their smile of satisfaction when something new is mastered! "

“With Digital Seniors, I am not limited to helping but I am also learning from the seniors' wisdom, as well as from my fellow coaches."
