About this opportunity

Silver City Surfers assist people to learn basic computer skills 1-to-1 in a social setting. We have a brilliant team of volunteers that help and are currently recruiting new volunteers.

As a Volunteer Tutor you will support learners with use of their smartphone, tablet or laptop. Enabling older people to embrace technology and gain the confidence to keep learning, improving not just their digital skills but to use the internet to improve their well-being and feel less socially isolated.

This role will provide the opportunity to enhance your people skills and gain tutoring experience. As you support our learners using everyday language, you will see their lives transformed as they get to grips with the world of IT. And you'll be part of a great team of volunteers.

Working mainly with older people we help them overcome a lack of confidence in using their device and going online. This is empowering for those who are unfamiliar with technology and need basic IT skills to carry out online tasks that are now essential in managing their day to day lives.

Silver City Surfers undertake sessions and have volunteering opportunities at city centre and community venues across Aberdeen.

Volunteers are welcome to help at any of our drop in sessions:

  • Mondays: Michie’s Café, 1:30pm to 3:00pm
  • Wednesdays: Crown Tce Methodist Church, 2:15pm to 4:00pm
  • Thursdays: Cummings Park Community Flat, 11:00am to 1:00pm
  • Thursdays: Tillydrone Community Campus, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
  • Saturdays: Central Library Media Centre, 10:00am to 12:00pm

A great opportunity to help and make a positive difference in a friendly and supportive place.
