Upcoming events
Treasure Island Computer Help Day
noon - 4pm
Low-income and formerly homeless Treasure Island residents are eager to learn how to use computers to get email, apply for jobs, and use the Internet to search for jobs. But their computers may not be working, they may not have Internet access and the small computer center does not have regularly-scheduled classes or advice sessions.
Can you help Treasure Island residents get online by providing one-on-one advice, technical advice or diagnose their computer problems? The City of San Francisco has provided wireless access to the Internet, but not all residents have been able to use it, so residents may also need advice on how to connect to the city-provided wireless system.
Wednesday, September
John O'Connell High School Computer Help Day
San Francisco
9am - 11am
John O'Connell families are eager to learn how to use computers to get cemail, apply for jobs, and communicate with the school. But many of the non-English-language speaking and low-income families do not have Internet access or computers at home and do not use computers in their everyday lives. They gather for a monthly coffee meeting to learn about upcoming school events and resources, but they cannot access online resources after they learn about them.
Can you help Spanish and Cantonese speaking families learn basic computer skills, help them get email addresses and learn how to use the school website? You don't need any special skills, just patience, a sense of humor and the ability to navigate the Internet. Spanish- and Cantonese-speaking volunteers preferred.
