Being a Digital Mentor is about inspiring people to try using digital technology and supporting them through their first steps using computers, mobile devices, and the internet.

Training is provided, though a basic-to-medium level of digital literacy will be required in order to properly assist with the variety of requests digital mentors are faced with as part of this role.

These requests can range from assistance with MyGov, issues with emails and passwords, utilising online services, and the many other joys that come with the world wide web. Mentors are guided and supported by the Be Connected Officer at the Esperance Public Library.

Digital Mentors can choose the frequency and days they are available on the roster, with a minimum expectation of one 2hr shift per fortnight.
