Digital Inclusion Week (DIW) is just around the corner, and Community Tech Network has planned an exciting lineup of in-person and virtual events to engage volunteers, digital equity practitioners, and learners nationwide.
In-Person Volunteer Opportunities
We’ll be hosting free, hands-on digital skills workshops across San Francisco on October 8, 9, and 10. These workshops cover essential topics like smartphone basics, email management, and internet safety.
A CTN instructor will lead each event, but we need volunteers to ensure that every learner gets the support they need during class. Volunteers will also stay after the session to provide basic tech support. Volunteers who speak Cantonese, Spanish, or Tagalog are especially welcome.
