Young Mentors Technology Support Program

Developed by the eSafety Commissioner and Be Connected, this intergenerational program is a collaboration between South Sydney High School students and senior members of the library community, supporting elderly individuals in improving their digital skills.

"Young Mentors" are paired with "Older Learners" and together they devise a learning plan, working through individual technology questions and problems throughout the term using the learner's device/s. Tailored to individual requirements in a supportive environment, it's an opportunity for learners to gain confidence in their technology skills when using iPads, iPhones and computers, and for young mentors to develop their teaching abilities and skills of communication. Current term is fully booked.
