Become a Digital Literacy Volunteer!

with Vanessa Richards

Free More Info

Make a difference in this digital age. The pandemic has increased dependence on technology and Ellsworth Adult Education has many people seeking individual support with digital devices (computers, smart phones, and tablets.) Almost all of these learners are functioning at a basic level. Our experience shows that computer classes are challenging as everyone has a different device, software, learning style and goal. Over the past year, we have started a Computer Cafe - designed as a computer lab of sorts - where people can come to meet individually or in small groups to learn from one another and an experienced teacher. We have found this approach to be very effective. In order to grow this program, we need volunteers to assist the instructor to provide the individualized instruction.

Our current hours are Mondays, 11a-1p and Thursdays, 4p-6p. We are hoping to expand if we get enough volunteers! We will provide you with some training, support and resources. We are organizing information/training sessions to share information and resources. If you’re interested in learning more, register for this course or reach out to us at adultedinfo@ellsworthschools.org or 207.664.7110.
