We are looking for enthusiastic individuals who enjoy working with Teens and are passionate about technology! Volunteers at the Teen Tech Center, often referred to as Mentors, join a unique community of young people and adults who create, invent, and explore together using the latest in technology. Teen Tech Mentors vary in age, background, interests and skills. Typically Mentors are university students, artists, educators, graphic designers, software developers, architects, or community members.
What do mentors do?
• Mentors help youth express themselves through technology
• Mentors support Members as they connect their interests with the computer technology skills they need to express those interests
• Mentors focus on developing relationships
• Successful Mentors understand the importance of establishing relationships based on respect and trust
• Mentors are mutual learners
• Mentors sometimes lead, but they often follow, as they know it’s empowering for young people to teach others

• Contributing to the Clubhouse-to-College/Clubhouse-to-Career (C2C) Program
