For the second time running we are partnering with Margaret River High School to deliver the Young Mentors Program. Please register your interest to be contacted regarding dates and times the program will run.
The Be Connected Young Mentors program supports older Australians to improve their digital skills by bringing them together with young people in a mentoring capacity, to share digital skills and knowledge.
The Young Mentors are trained in how to mentor older people, then fully supervised as they deliver the weekly sessions.
The one-to-one sessions are fun, informal and tailored to cover topics older people would like to learn. Participants can use their own devices, so the new skills they learn can be put into practice straight away.
The Young Mentors program offers a wealth of benefits to all participants. Older people can improve digital literacy, learn essential life skills and develop a deeper sense of community while the young mentors can develop leadership, communication, problem-solving skills… and much more.
Learning together can change lives.
Register your interest now by contacting: abrawls@amrshire.wa.gov.au or contacting the library on 08 9780 5600.
The library is an accessible venue with spaces available for carers if necessary.
