Training/teaching opportunities for SCN

[Anitra Freeman]

I'm way behind on my mail and coming in on the middle of a thread.  My
humble apologies and Virtual Chocolate if this is off-topic.

Does anyone want training/volunteer opportunities?  I've got a couple:

) Real Change now has a full-time Computer Workshop -- but not full-time
monitors.  We would happily appreciate any help, even for an hour or so,
from people skilled in Macintosh, Word, Photoshop, Pagemaker and
Internet skills (search, downloading, FTP, email) -- or any combination
of the above -- who are willing to hang out and field questions.
Workshop hours are RC office hours, 8-6 weekdays, 10-2 Saturdays.  I
know that's difficult for most volunteers -- which is why we need
people.  < wheedle> We have great coffee and lot of bagels. < /wheedle>

) The Workshop is unstructured -- individuals come in to work on their
own projects and they ask questions when they need help.  We have also
started a structured class, every Sunday from 3-5PM.  Any volunteer
instructors welcome!

) Anyone want to "adopt-a-writer" or "adopt-an-artist" -- work
one-on-one with a homeless/low-income writer or artist to create their
own webpage?  We have some of this going on already, but we still have
more writers/artists than we have skilled mentors.

If anyone on the list is interested in any of this, or wants more
information, please write to me at alf1701 at scn.org
