Help others take their first steps to being media savvy

by St Albans Community Association

Digital Champions are volunteers who give support to people who are either offline or who have limited digital skills in secure community spaces. Digital Champions make a huge difference in people’s lives and the community. Digital Champions are not expected to be IT experts, but they do have a basic understanding of how to stay safe online and are comfortable working with people to help them with learning basic online skills.
