Volunteer Opportunities at The Co-Op
Help South Salt Lake bridge the digital divide by becoming a digital navigator! As a digital navigator, you'll meet one-on-one with community members to help address their digital needs from acquiring a low-cost computer to signing up for internet service to learning fundamental tech skills. Volunteers do not need to be particularly proficient at computer skills. Rather, we are looking for outgoing volunteers who enjoy helping others and are accepting of people from all backgrounds. For more information, connect with Lucas Horns at lhorns@sslc.gov.
