Bethesda Metro Area Village is seeking volunteers to become occasional service providers for our members - senior citizens in the downtown Bethesda and surrounding areas. We have various types of volunteer opportunities available but are specifically looking for volunteers who can help answer questions about technology.
Volunteer service providers must be over 18. Some services take place in the home, like connecting a new computer or troubleshooting a cable connection. Other questions might be able to be answered over the phone. We are looking for volunteers with an interest in basic troubleshooting for home computers, printers, networking, and smartphones. Complicated or time consuming questions are referred to paid providers.
Candidates must be personable and patient and feel that they have a good rapport with seniors.
Volunteers fill out an application and go through a background check and a short training. You choose which service requests you would like to accept - there is no requirement to take any minimum number of requests and you do what is convenient for you. Most requests are for weekdays but there is great flexibility in dates.
Volunteering is a wonderful way to contribute to your community. If you would like to help seniors to age in place in their homes and increase connection with their community, we would love to have you.
