You’ll be helping with

Time commitment

We ask all Digital Champions to complete induction and keep their digital skills fresh using the Volunteer Your Way Portal. 

Digital Champions can help others in a variety of ways. For example:

2) Buddy up with a person that has a specific digital need    

3) Be part of a group and facilitate local digital help sessions.
