 Everyone loves to use a computer and think how important it can be to someone with a disability. St.Vincent New Hope has volunteer opportunities for computer tutors. You choose a time that works for you and it can be as often as an hour a week or every other week. You will not only be teaching someone a new skill or updating their current skills, you will have a chance to meet a person who will be grateful for the time that you spend with him/her. You must be 16 years old to volunteer and have good computer skills. Patience is required and you will be required to attend a volunteer orientation session at St.Vincent New Hope. A TB test is also required and will be given by St.Vincent. This opportunity is sponsored by: St.Vincent New Hope

Overall Experience 
I have actually gained 3 wonderful new friends as a result of volunteering!
|
I am a single mother with a teenage daughter. I decided that I wanted to get involved in volunteer work of some kind and to introduce my daughter to the joy of giving of yourself. Because I work full time, I don't have a huge amount of time to give, but in St. Vincent New Hope I have found a great organization that appreciates what time I can give and understands my time constraints. My daughter and I visit whenever we can with 3 wondeful residents at a group home. These 3 ladies have become our very dear friends and truely give more to us than I believe we are able to give to them. They are so appreciative and dear. I know that my life is enriched by spending time with them and my daughter has had an opportunity to experience giving early in her life. I know my daughter will carry these experiences with her as she moves through high school and college and be a more sensitive and caring adult because of it.
