Are you interested in earning community service hours while making a real impact in your community? The library is offering a Digital Literacy Mentor Training for high school students who want to help others learn basic tech skills like using computers, email, and using the internet safely. This training session will prepare you to volunteer in our upcoming Digital Buddies Program, launching later this Spring.

You’ll receive 1 hour of community service for attending the training, and it’s a great way to build leadership and communication skills. Attendance at one training session is required if you’d like to participate as a mentor in the full program. You only need to come to one training session. 

R = Registration required.
