 WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE CLUB?
This is a Community Service club where members volunteer to teach East 
Brunswick residents the basics of using a PC.  Members also update the 
CJHS website.

 DO I NEED EXPERIENCE USING A COMPUTER?
You needn’t be an expert, however you must be comfortable using a PC.  You 
must be familiar with the desktop, windows, and basic applications.  Most 
importantly, you must have a desire to help others who are not comfortable 
using a PC.  This requires patience and an ability to explain the whats, 
wheres and whys of using a PC.

 HOW DO I BENEFIT FROM JOINING THE CLUB?
Volunteering and helping others is not only beneficial for those that you 
are helping, it also makes you feel good about yourself.  You will be 
surprised at how much you know.  Additionally, universities and employers 
look very favorably upon those who perform volunteer work, particularly when 
it involves teaching a skill which is in great demand.  If you perform at 
least 15 hours, the hours you volunteer will be documented in your school 
file as “Community Service”.
