Library seeks tech tutors

SANDPOINT – The Sandpoint Library is seeking people who love technology to consider volunteering as a tech tutor. If you or someone you know would be good at this, keep reading on.

Tech tutors donate predetermined blocks of time as their schedule permits to assist people in tech applications that they are fluent in. The library matches people who need assistance with an appropriate tech tutor. Volunteer tech tutors typically choose a 2- or 3-hour block of time each week to make themselves available for one-hour appointments. The skills most high in demand are Mac, PC, iOS (Apple), Android, basic internet navigation, Gmail, YouTube, social media, photo editing, online shopping, eReaders, MS Office, completing online applications, and resume writing.

Tech Tutors are volunteers who have been screened and trained through the library’s Volunteer Services Department.

All scheduling and tutoring space is provided by the library. Tutors become part of the library’s volunteer force and are an important asset to the community. They are invited to a monthly volunteer meeting where they learn about a different topic each month, enjoy networking with other volunteers and staff, and indulge in snacks.

If you love technology and want to use your skills for good, you might be a good fit as a Tech Tutor at The Library. Start by filling out a volunteer application at www.ebonnerlibrary.org, click on “Get to know us” then “Volunteer.”
