Aberdeen Digital Awareness Volunteers

As the requirement to be able to use technology increases, many individuals find themselves excluded from the opportunities available as a result of their lack of digital awareness. In order to address this inequality I am looking for digital awareness volunteers, who you would be required to attend local sessions throughout the city showing members of the public how to use and get the best from their own digital devices. In addition to this, along with other volunteers and staff you would represent Adult Learning at various Digital Awareness events. These sessions and events would be on an ad hoc basis at times convenient to the volunteers. Good training and support is provided to all volunteers. A fantastic opportunity to help and make a difference with people and local communities in Aberdeen. All help is greatly appreciated. For further details please contact Ann Campbell (Development Officer) on E Mail: anncampbell@aberdeencity.gov.uk or Tel.: 07901512938
