How will this opportunity benefit the volunteer?
Through partnerships with senior-serving organizations and technology companies, Connected Canadians provides one-on-one training, workshops, customized employee training and volunteering experiences. Many of our mentors are newcomers to Canada, highly skilled in technology, who benefit from the conversational opportunities and Canadian workplace experience, while senior clients feel pride and connection in welcoming these newcomers into our communities. By 2030, our goal is for all older Canadians to have access to free technology training and support. If you are selected for this role, you will receive training to help you teach older learners; Pending successful completion of your hours, you will receive an Internet stipend and a $500 honorarium. Testimonial “I consider myself very lucky to join Connected Canadians… [It] changed the “sad picture” that got stuck to my mind about getting a job in Canada. I can not thank this organization enough. It brought me back my confidence and empowered me to work harder and harder.” (Anonymous) New Immigrant Technology Mentor
