SeniorNet Volunteer Corner - Help support our SeniorNet program by working behind the scenes or by instructing older adults in basic and specialized computer functions and programs. Our students are all adults age 50+ and classes are conducted in our SeniorNet lab, which can accommodate 6 students at a time which means class sizes are kept small.

Instructors may teach from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Different schedules are available and most classes are 1- ½ hours in length and meet weekly for eight weeks. Volunteers use a curriculum designed by SeniorNet for older adults.

In addition to teaching, we are always recruiting new volunteers to take on a variety of computer lab related tasks! SeniorNet is one of our largest and most popular programs offered at the Ethel Hart Senior Center and coordinating each session of classes takes an immense amount of effort. Classes are held between the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays. Class times can be scheduled to accommodate instructor availability and most classes are 1 ½ hours in length and meet weekly for eight weeks.
