Innovative digital program for seniors
- Help to connect those who are isolated
- Experience technology changing lives

**Are you an innovator?**

Would you like to be part of an innovative program which uses technology to connect seniors from all over Australia?

Are you interested in learning something new and creating a fun safe space for our seniors to meet and make new friends?

Enter the VSC..... Virtual Social Centre

The Virtual Social Centre is a vibrant online community hosted on a web-based platform that enables seniors to connect with each other through a range of diverse sessions. This virtual community connects seniors to each other from the comfort of their home. There is a range of programs we deliver including languages, book clubs, exercise sessions, developing life stories, writing, cooking, arts, dancing, singing, chat clubs, innovations in technology, and literature.

**VSC VOLUNTEER POSITIONS**:

- **HOST**: Lead a session on the platform in whatever is your passion. It could be a singing group, cooking session, teaching a language or a chat-based session. Hosts can elect to deliver sessions weekly or fortnightly, but we generally require a regular commitment to ensure continuity for the seniors.
- **MODERATOR**: Attend sessions in the background and provide basic technical support, ensuring the sessions run smoothly for the host and the participants alike. A roster is sent out weekly and moderators are able to allocate themselves to any session of their choice.

**REQUIREMENTS**:
Requirements for both positions: device (tablet/laptop/computer), camera, microphone (or headphones) and reliable internet. We do not encourage the utilisation of mobile phone data/ hot spotting due to the possible charges that may be incurred.

**So how can YOU make a difference in YOUR community?**
- Support our seniors to connect to the VSC through real social interaction.
- Engage, inspire and connect with people from different backgrounds, experiences and lives
- Empower people to live their best lives.
- Discover new things about yourself and grow in your own life
- Help our seniors to connect to the new world of technology
