There is still time for Senior Learners to register for Young Mentors.

For the third time running we are partnering with Margaret River Senior High School to deliver the Young Mentors Program starting on Wednesday 7th August 2024.

The 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 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. Some devices are available if learners want to have a go, but do not have the resources.

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.

More information on Young Mentors can be found at: Young Mentors | eSafety Commissioner. Register your interest by contacting Ana or Rachael at the library, phone 9780 5600.

The library is an easily accessible venue with space available for carers if necessary.
