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 


We look forward to meeting you!

The Place is proud to be the first community organisation in NSW to take part in the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program, supporting more people in our community to get connected and build confidence online. Through the program, we helped allocate 30 refurbished laptops to local people in our community, including seniors, carers, people with disability and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Participants receive 12 months of free data, digital skills training and IT Support to help them make the most of their device. Delivered by NSW Telco Authority in partnership with WorkVentures and Good Things Australia, the NSW Device Bank Pilot Program is part of the NSW Government’s Digital Inclusion Strategy. The program helps bridge the digital divide by giving people access to the essential technology, connectivity and support needed in today’s digital world. We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity for our local community and want to thank everyone who made it possible.
