Mentor

Being a Mentor

A mentor is anyone with an interest in learning more about technology and working with young people. Mentors, like our members, are diverse in age, background, interests and technological experience.

Computer Clubhouse mentors typically volunteer 2 hours, 1 day per week, for a period of 6 months. Mentors are professionals and students in art, music, engineering, education, and a variety of other fields. No experience is necessary, just an interest in learning and working with young people and/or providing technical support a few hours each week…all while having fun!

We’re currently accepting applications for mentors.
