| MENTOR
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.
Please email Adrian
Collier.
