Technology Support - Waiheke
We’re looking for a patient, tech-friendly volunteer to support one of our members as she learns to use Seeing AI—a free app designed to narrate the world for people with vision loss. You don’t need to be an expert as we’ll provide you with training before you begin supporting the member. If you’re interested in assistive technology, mentoring and making a meaningful impact, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn and help someone grow in their independence. Timing is flexible and can be arranged to suit your schedule, though the member would appreciate support once every two weeks. About Blind Low Vision NZ: Every day, an average of nine New Zealanders turn to Blind Low Vision NZ for support with vision loss. We provide emotional and practical support, so that people who are blind, deafblind or have low vision can keep working and living independently. We meet people in their homes or at their local Blind Low Vision NZ office to collectively make this happen. We also advocate for accessible and inclusive communities. We believe people with vision loss deserve equal access to public spaces, information and careers. This is made possible through education and removing barriers. At Blind Low Vision NZ we believe no goal is too big or small. https://blindlowvision.org.nz/
