FREE Digital Mentor Training

Help seniors with digital literacy.

We are thrilled to announce we are running more FREE Digital Mentor Training Sessions , and we cannot wait to embark on this digital journey with you!


In 2024, we are offering an opportunity for community members like you to become Digital Mentors for people over 50 who lack basic digital skills. This is your chance to make a positive impact by helping your loved ones, friends, neighbours, and community members boost their digital literacy and confidence.


All you need to do is attend one day of FREE training and be willing to support learners who are over 50. We are here to support you every step of the way, providing valuable resources and follow-up support sessions. Plus, we are also planning several community support days that will be held at our Centre that you can join, where you will be able to assist elderly learners with specific tasks.


All Digital Mentors who complete this program will receive a certificate that you can use to enhance your resume. And that is not all – you will also have a chance to win some awards and prizes for your dedication to helping others.


This opportunity is a perfect fit for those looking to upskill or add a valuable credential to their resume. It is also a wonderful way to give back to your community and gain new experiences. If you are involved in aged care or the community sector, this program can be particularly beneficial.


We have you covered when it comes to lunch, with delicious free lunch and refreshments provided during the training. Just let us know if you have any dietary requirements, and we will make sure you are well taken care of!

Bookings are essential as spaces are limited, so please be sure to secure your spot by booking early.

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
