Being digital is an important part of everyday life, however for some it can be a difficult and daunting prospect.

YOUR Students ’ Union in partnership with Digital Sunderland (a Sunderland City Council initiative) are looking for new Digital Champions to lead and be part of regular training workshops in Sunderland. Join the Volunteering Opportunities Officer to find out how you can become a digital champion and how you can support young and old members of the community to develop tech confidence. Using the Learn My Way digital platform, you will be fully trained with knowledge and techniques to teach those who want to master the internet to become digitally switched on. You’ll also be able to use the Learn My Way system to top up your own digital skills and discover more ways to stay safe online.

Can’t volunteer but interested in technology and everything digital? Why not grab a friend and start a SU Community to bring other like minded students together to meet and discuss all things tech! You can also apply for funding too. Up to £300 is available to bid for through Find Funding.
