Neighbourhood Houses bring people together to connect, learn and contribute in their local community through social, educational, recreational and support activities, using a unique community development approach. Be Connected is an Australian wide government initiative to enable all Australians to flourish in a digital world. Be Connected Digital Mentors work with people over the age of 50 who wish to increase their confidence to use technology. You are not expected to be an IT expert to become a mentor and once you have been trained you can go on to assist any number of older Australians - from your own family members to a whole community - it's up to you.
