Volunteering

Come Join Our Team of Volunteers! 

There are typically 7 to 15 volunteers at each work session or tech night.  In February 2008, there were over 220 volunteer hours. At a conservative rate of $15 per hour, that amounts to $3,300.00 donated to Computer Banc in one month!

When is Help Needed?
Tech Nights (alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6-8p; see the Schedule page)
Work Days (first and third Saturday of each month, 10-2)
Office Hours (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1-4p).
