Volunteer at Byte Back

Byte Back is aided in its mission by professionals in the community who volunteer their time and energy to Byte Back. Below are some of the volunteer opportunities available at Byte Back. Volunteers must attend a volunteer orientation to be eligible. To find out how to register for a volunteer orientation, and for the next volunteer orientation date, click here.

Teaching

Teach PC for Beginners, Word, Excel, Access, and other classes. Class sessions last eight weeks. Some classes meet once a week, and some twice a week. Classes meet for ninety minutes, in the evenings or on weekends. A ninety minute teacher orientation for all new teachers is provided. Lesson plans and exercises are provided by Byte Back.

Fundraising Research

Several volunteers needed to do research on-line regarding funding opportunities to allow Byte Back to forward its mission. Volunteers should be familiar with the grant-writing requirements for a non-profit organization. Research can be done from the Byte Back office or from a home computer.

Resume Critique

Several volunteers, experienced in the hiring process, needed to critique resumes developed by students and interns. Fast Track students are generally looking for administrative work; Internship Tech Academy students are looking for work in the IT industry.

Teacher Recruitment

Attend local events and handout information about Byte Back to recruit volunteers.

Intern Mentoring

Assist one student in the Internship Tech Academy in the area of study on which they will primarily focus: either Web Development or Network Administration.. Our hope is that this is the area in which they will get their first job in the computer industry. Their goal is to complete at least two projects in their area of specialization between now and the end of the program - so they will have realworld, hands-on experience to increase their chances of employment in the IT industry. We would like to pair each intern with one of our volunteers who can help them complete their projects. Mentors can assist students with their projects, homework, and correspond through email. Volunteer time can be at your work, home, or at one of our sites, and at any time that is mutually convenient.
