Tech Soup
Tech Soup volunteers teach JCC Zoom tutorials and provide one-on-one tech assistance to other seniors. Volunteers, working collaboratively with other volunteers, remotely assist clients with smartphones, tablets, PCs, and Mac devices. To request one-on-one assistance, email techsoup1on1@mmjccm.org.
Join Our Volunteer Staff
Volunteers should be familiar with PC or Mac operating systems, as well as browsers and associated apps. Typical help is generally “how-to” strategies for system updates, downloading and using apps, email management, and safe usage of social media. If you would like to volunteer with Tech Soup please contact apelletier@mmjccm.org.
