Tech-Easy is a youth-led volunteer organization that helps seniors to learn how to use computer technology (laptops, iPad, cell phones, etc). What you find so easy to use, a senior might be baffled! Tech-Easy sends groups of youth volunteers to assigned retirement homes, community centres, libraries and neighbourhood houses across Vancouver to conduct a specific lesson. As a volunteer, you will receive some training. This is a great opportunity for those students that enjoy using computer technology and wants to volunteer more! Tech-Easy will be hosting weekly iPad lessons at various community centre and needs more volunteers in North Vancouver. For more info, visit the website www.tech-easy.ca or contact reachtecheasy@gmail.com or visit the official Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tech-Easy/312455455470426.
