Volunteer Opportunities in Baldwin

Here in Baldwin, people care about one another, and there are many active community organizations and services. How can you help?

Baldwin Technology Center Baldwin Technology center was established in order to give residents access to technology. It provides members of the community with free e-mail and Internet access. In addition, it offers computer workshops and provides technical support. Baldwin Technology center is open to people of all ages. Popular teen workshops are held every afternoon. In the evenings, adults are helped by our highly qualified technical support team. Baldwin Technology center is run by the community for the community. It was established five years ago by a group of local businesspeople who wanted to raise the level of computer literacy in our community. It is funded solely by donations, and all services are offered free of charge. We are always looking for volunteers to help with administrative tasks and fundraising activities to support our paid staff of teachers and technicians. Opening Hours: Mon. – Fri.: 9 a.m. − 1 p.m. 5 p.m. − 9 p.m. Sat.: 9 a.m. − 9 p.m. Baldwin Literacy Center Baldwin Literacy center provides literacy services to local adults. We work to improve students’ english reading, writing and speaking skills and offer courses at various levels. We also run a computer lab with educational software that helps students improve their proficiency in english. We cater to a large variety of students. Sixty percent of our students are non-native english speakers, while forty percent are native english speakers who read and write english at a very basic level. All of our courses are reasonably priced because they are heavily subsidized by public funding. Additional courses are provided at other locations, including the public library and the local high school, to make it easier for people from all over the area...
