The Triangle Nonprofit and Volunteer Leadership Center (TNVLC) and the Duke University Bass Connections Help Desk team are collaborating to create a Digital Navigator program. This program will improve digital literacy among older adults and others in need in the Durham community.
The role of a digital navigator will be to provide technological assistance to older adult members of the Durham community in partnership with Durham Meals on Wheels and help guide them through the use of essential online resources (i.e. email, social media, video communication). The digital navigator will also assist with phone or smartphone use. As a volunteer of this program, you are expected to commit 2 to 4 hours per week to help older adults with their technological needs until May 2021. Training for this opportunity begins in December and volunteering sessions will start January 2021.
This program is open to High School Juniors and Seniors. Students Earn hours that can be used for the Commissioners' Award and the national President's Service Award.
