Internet access has become essential for nearly every aspect of daily life. Need to check your medical test results? You’ll have to sign into an online portal. Applying for a job? Submit your application online. Want to see your grandkids across the country? Just make a video call.
The United Nations declared internet access a basic human right. When people lack the necessary tools and skills to navigate the online world, they can get left behind.
Join us during Digital Inclusion Week (DIW), the biggest digital equity event of the year, to help us make a difference.
How You Can Help
So, are you ready to get involved? We need individuals and groups to volunteer during our in-person Tech Teach-In events across San Francisco throughout the week of October 7-11, 2024. As a volunteer, here’s what you can expect:
Before the Event:
- Assist with setting up the space by arranging tables, chairs, and equipment.
- Welcome participants and help them sign in at the registration table.
During the Event:
- Support learners by answering their questions. A CTN instructor will lead the lesson, but volunteers are crucial to ensuring that every learner gets the support they need.
- Capture the moment! Use your phone to snap a few photos so we can share the event on social media.
After the event:
- Provide one-on-one tech support! Participants often stick around to ask questions about their personal devices.
- Assist participants in filling out feedback forms.
- Help with event clean-up, such as removing tablecloths or putting away chairs.
No prior teaching experience necessary. Volunteer opportunities available for both groups and individuals who speak English, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, or Tagalog. View our event calendar here.
It’s easy to sign up! Just email corporate@communitytechnetwork.org. Afterwards, you’ll receive an email with more information.
