FREE Digital Mentor Program for High School Students
A Wonderful Opportunity For Your School
Do you work at a High School and are looking for a positive program for your students to get involved in?
The Place is excited to announce that we’re delivering another round of our Be Connected Digital Mentor Training Program!
As part of this program, we'll be providing FREE
training for High School students in years 9 and 10 to become Digital Mentors. This program is a fantastic opportunity for students to become Digital Mentors and learn a range of skills to support people over 50 (in their families and community) to improve their digital literacy and confidence.
The program includes training for students plus follow up support sessions including one that will provide opportunities for students to practice their mentoring skills supporting people over 50 with basic digital literacy.
Students that participate in this program will receive ongoing support and resources to assist them as Digital Mentors and opportunities to build confidence and personal growth. They will receive a certificate on completion of the program as well as rewards such as free lunch through your school canteen, a gift card (to cover any data expenses), opportunities to win prizes and a celebration at the end of the program.
We’re offering schools across the Hunter region the opportunity to have their students participate in the program and are inviting expressions of interest from those who would like to get involved. Training will be delivered from February - June 2023 at your school or our Centre (you can choose a date that works for your students).
If you would like your High School to get involved in this wonderful program, please express your interest by emailing Grace at programs@theplacecharlestown.org.au
or calling (02) 4032 5500 and we will send you an Information Pack.
