Community Volunteers Needed to Improve Internet Connectivity for Beaverton High School Families

We know that families depend on the Internet, whether at school or at home, so they can do homework, search for jobs, access financial or government services, and much more. During the current reality of school that need is even higher as students participate in school remotely. 

Comcast is offering six months of free internet and will train volunteers to assist families with the application process.

Who are we looking for in volunteers?

  • Kind, patient, volunteers who can guide families through completing the online application process

  • Bilingual (Spanish) is an asset but not necessary

  • Problem solver who can help answer questions

  • Ability to use the meeting platform Zoom

Volunteers will need to complete the Beaverton School District background check (if not already completed)  https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/departments/communications-community-involvement/volunteer
