Computer Learning Center – Teachers/Coaches

Generations of shared knowledge

The Computer Learning Center at the Campus for Creative Aging is an all-volunteer computer learning center for people age 50 and older. Our volunteers come from the private and public sectors. They are people of all ages, from business people and teachers to homemakers. They come to share their expertise, to make a contribution to the community, to meet new people and be part of the team, or to learn new skills. The reasons for volunteering are as varied as the people who volunteer. What is certain is that each volunteer will make a positive contribution to the success of our Computer Learning Center.

Volunteers are asked to make a commitment of from two weeks to two months at a time (the length of the selected course session). Interested volunteers should sign up here or call 269-983-7058.
