2000 Smiles make it worth it, volunteer says, smiling The Combined Fund Drive runs through Nov. 22. Throughout the drive, University Week will feature faculty and staff who give back to the community by volunteering their time. Project Compute is offering students access to computers and technology that otherwise might not be available.
All courses are free.
I like offering a professional yet personal touch in the way we run the program. When I first got involved my own child was attending the classes. I liked how employees from these big companies were coming into the center offering their services free of charge. I had only basic computer skills and didn't think I would be much help volunteering, but they needed someone to organize and take care of the administrative duties, such as scheduling meetings and course offerings and coordinating the after school tutor program. This was something I had experience in through my regular job.
