Volunteers then help families set-up their computer, and learn the basic operations of word processing, file management, and the Internet. At the end of the training session, families pack up their computers and take them home. We will then ask you for further information, such as the dates you are interested in volunteering. To volunteer you must be 18 years of age or older. We encourage you to first attend a New York Cares volunteer orientation.
Orientations are one hour in length and are offered at three Manhattan locations.
There are many different levels of commitment for this program. Allies may help young people prepare their proposals, budgets and timelines. They may help young people prepare to present their proposals before a selection panel. They may work with one web venture team to develop the web sites.
