LITERACY UNLIMITED

Thank you for this lovely post, West Island Women's Centre ! We are so happy to partner with you. Thank you, Connected Canadians for training our tech mentors and of course, thank you to our tech mentors for their time and dedication.

Tech help, community connection, and a wonderful partnership!

We were happy to partner with LITERACY UNLIMITED to bring their Seniors Tech Help Program to the West Island Women’s Centre.

Volunteer Tech Mentors offered 1-on-1 support to seniors with questions about their laptops, tablets, or cell phones. In total, 8 one-hour tech help sessions took place at our Centre, helping participants feel more confident using technology.

A big thank you to Literacy Unlimited and their volunteers for sharing their time, knowledge, and kindness with our community.

Partnerships like this help us connect, learn, and grow together.

Aide technologique, liens communautaires et un merveilleux partenariat!

Nous avons été heureuses de collaborer avec Literacy Unlimited afin d’offrir leur programme d’aide technologique pour les aînés au Centre des femmes West Island.

Des mentors bénévoles en technologie ont offert un soutien individuel aux aînés qui avaient des questions au sujet de leur ordinateur portable, tablette ou téléphone cellulaire. Au total, 8 séances d’aide technologique d’une heure ont eu lieu à notre Centre, aidant les participants à se sentir plus à l’aise avec la technologie.

Un grand merci à Literacy Unlimited et à ses bénévoles pour avoir partagé leur temps, leurs connaissances et leur bienveillance avec notre communauté.

Des partenariats comme celui-ci nous permettent de créer des liens, d’apprendre et de grandir ensemble.
