Need help with your new computer?

Many nonprofits and schools don't have the time, money, or funding to use technology in all the ways they would like.  Technical volunteers can help fill the gap by assisting with technical projects and providing advice and support.

CompuMentor has developed a guide to assist community organisations and schools recruit and manage technical volunteers.  This downloadable guide (PDF) can be used to assess technical needs and identify areas where volunteers can help, recruit technical volunteers and assess their skills, manage technical volunteers, document their work and find resources that will help your volunteers throughout the process
