Volunteer Activities

Internet Masters can provide a variety of education opportunities which will benefit your community. Some of the more important activities include answering questions about the Internet on help lines, giving demonstrations and presentations on Internet use and access, developing Web sites for community groups, and helping foster use and growth of community information networks.

Internet Masters can work with libraries, schools, city and county agencies and other community groups to develop educational opportunities for the citizens of their community. Their volunteer time is valued as partial payment for the training they receive.
