LFC is looking for teachers and teaching assistants to help run our 3.5-hour parent & child workshops called "Computers for Families - Together & Connected." The commitment will be roughly 6 hours. Bi-lingual a very big plus. Knowing about computers and computer hardware (how to remove a HDD/RAM/Etc) a plus too. This workshop will be with one of Driscoll's growers and their field workers. 24 people (12 parents/12 children) will be in attendance.
***Details below***

LFC will bring 3.5-hour workshops that will provide an engaging “taste” of technology to both computer illiterate parents and their children, concurrently, in order to “demystify” the concept of computers by introducing digital literacy for the parents, and a computer hardware/teardown/refurbishing experience to both parents and children together. The family will bring home a Chromebook they refurbish that day, for free. The adults and children will engage in a team-building activity and learn how to connect to WiFi, open a browser, perform various Google searches, visit Salinas Public Library’s Rosetta Stone language learning portal, Monterey County Free Library’s live Homework help portal, their children’s school’s website, and code.org. Learning will be fun, with small prizes given away and various intervals. LFC will encourage parents and children to continue their education after the workshop by promoting self-enrollment into already-existing deeper coding and digital literacy educational opportunities to extend the knowledge beyond the workshop, provided by one of our other partners:
Digital literacy classes for the parents at Salinas Public Library or Salinas City Elementary School District or at home: GCFLearnFree.
Goal 1: To help overcome the digital divide by providing Chromebooks and digital literacy opportunities to low-income families.
Goal 2: To strengthen the bond between parent and child by offering these workshops in a supportive, collaborative learning environment, in Spanish and/or English.
Goal 3: To encourage the child to become a mentor to his or her parent: in these workshops, and in their home.
Goal 4: To support their community by preparing Chromebooks for other low-income families to receive. Community service hours can be earned by the child.
Goal 5: To inform parents of safety precautions to be aware of now having a device that can now get online in their home, accessible by their children.
