Volunteer Event 

 
Senior Computer Training
 
 
computerMBYP volunteers are needed for Computer Training Day with the Seniors at OASIS. This will be a time of Q&A for our Community Seniors to do one-on-one training and ask all about computers, the internet, and how it works. 

The center will be set-up for Wi-Fi connection and some participants may bring their own computer, but if you have a laptop to bring, it could be helpful.  Share your YP knowledge and a smile with our community seniors as it will go a long way! This will be the second time MBYP has volunteered at this event, and participants always find it fun and fulfilling.

 

We need for 8 volunteers for each shift on Wednesday, Feb. 9th.

 

Shift 1: 9:00 am - 11:00 am

Shift 2: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Shift 3: 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
