Become a Digital Mentor

Be Part of Our Digital Mentor Community!

Digital mentors are integral to our Be Connected digital literacy programs at The Place. There are still many people in our community who need help to use the internet and learn essential digital skills.


We work with community members and high school students across the Hunter Region, training them to become digital mentors who can support their family members, friends, and community members over 50 improve their digital literacy skills and gain confidence using all things digital.


Being a digital mentor is not all about technical skills, it is about being good with people and inspiring and supporting them to take their first steps using computers, mobile devices, and the internet.


If you take delight in helping others or to want to assist people you may be working with, join us for our upcoming Digital Mentor training session on Monday, 24 July from 9am – 4pm at The Place Charlestown.


Bookings are essential, as spots are limited. To register, please call us on 02 4032 5500 or email Zoe at programsassistant@theplacecharlestown.org.au

This Neighbourhood Centre Week, we pay homage to the remarkable strength that emerges when diverse individuals come together for a shared purpose. Helen Keller's timeless words, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much," resonate deeply as we reflect on the power of unity and community. In communities across Australia, Neighbourhood and Community Houses and Centres (NCHCs) stand as the beating heart of local neighbourhoods. At these centres like ours, we strive to embody the essence of togetherness, bringing people from all walks of life together to connect, learn, and play. Through collaborative initiatives, inclusive programs, and shared spaces, we cultivate an environment where every voice is heard, every story is valued, and every member contributes to the vibrant mosaic of our shared community. To celebrate the value of our local community, join us for a warm cuppa and lively conversations at The Place on 14th May, from 10 am – 12 pm. Whether you're a longtime resident or new to the area, there's a place for you here! Discover the variety of programs and activities at The Place tailored to enrich every aspect of your life, from health and wellness initiatives to educational workshops and social gatherings. Come and experience The Place where people meet, connect, belong, and grow. Neighbourhood Centre Week is a time to celebrate the bonds that unite us and the spaces that nurture them. So, come on over, grab a cuppa, and let's build a stronger, more connected community together! Free light morning tea will be provided. To book your spot, please call us on 02 4032 5500, or email us at programsassistant@theplacecharlestown.org.au
