COMPUTER TRAINING PROGRAM (MEMBERS ONLY)

A. SIGN UP TO BE A COMPUTER SKILLS TRAINER (CST). You will instruct the ladies using Microsoft Office 2000 Tutorial Textbooks. The lesson plans will be provided to you ahead of time and you will lead the ladies through a section (i.e. Chapters 1 & 2 of Excel) and then assist them with practice exercises and answer questions. If you want to help but are not comfortable being the designated Trainer then sign up to be a partner with one of our trainers and assist with the class.

Class times: Mondays, 7-9 pm at GSC computer lab.

B. SIGN UP AS AN OPEN LAB COORDINATOR (OLC). Sometimes, the ladies just need the lab to be open for them to check email accounts, look for job postings, and work on resumes. Potential times would be Tuesday or Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings or afternoons depending on volunteer availability. In this program, you will help the ladies in a more casual "come-and-go" environment as opposed to a structured class time. There will be an initial training session but then YPG members may volunteer weekly, monthly, or quarterly as your schedule permits.

FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO SIGN UP AS A VOLUNTEER FOR THESE COMPUTER LAB OPPORTUNITIES, EMAIL volunteer@ypgla.org.
