Best Buy & Kids 'n Kinship team up to teach teens in the Tech Mentor program
On April 3rd, 13 of our Kids ‘n Kinship teens each with their own coach, attended the first of three sessions for our new Tech
Mentor Program. Funded by Best Buy, these
teens will attend classes that will teach them how to use a digital camera with
video, how to upload, edit, post photos to social media, and how to make a
slideshow or video. Teens who complete
the classes will be able to keep the cameras.
The skills they learn will assist them in their middle school and high school
classes as well as in their social life and into future jobs. The class is taught by a past mentee of the
program who loves technology and is now a college graduate and a Best Buy
employee. The kids, volunteers and staff
are all excited about this new project!
