Office Volunteers

Be Connected
Currently meeting every 2nd and 4th Wednesday each month between 10 am and 3 pm at our Moorabbin premises we have club members volunteering to help members of the public gain confidence and learn about their smartphones, tablets or computers. The volunteers act as tutors or mentors to the people that come to the premises for help. The skills required are similar to those listed above for iHelp volunteers because the objective is similar although the tasks are face-to-face rather than on the telephone.
Audio-Visual System
The Borrett Room at the Moorabbin premises is fitted with extensive and sophisticated audio-visual equipment that is ideal for hybrid Zoom meetings. With in-house seating for up to 100 people, Zoom licence for a further 100+ people, multiple microphones and cameras, we need volunteers who would like to learn and practice using this equipment effectively. Full training can be given for any aspiring audio-visual technicians. Contact Stewart Gruneklee: stewartg(at)melbpc.org.au to register your interest.
