Matching volunteers to those who need support remotely has become a more challenged environment for some of our users and digital befrienders. Technology is central as well as having access to the right mix of accessibility features. Unfortunately, we don’t have the full suite we think it is necessary to maximize our interactions, but are constantly looking for donations/funding for a small group to realize it’s ambitions and aspirations. However, what we we lack in access or know-how is admirably mitigated by the passion of all involved in helping those on the digital periphery play a central role in managing their day-to-day digital needs, including increasing their social circles of support. The role of Online Chum is varied and spans different areas of interests that we hope we can ensure a good match between befrienders and beneficiaries. We are always looking for more volunteers to help us continue to serve our local neighborhoods and borough wide community.
