What is Teens Teach Tech?
Teens Teach Tech, powered by AT&T, harnesses teens’ technology expertise to help their family and other community members gain new computer/internet skills. This great opportunity allows teens to provide community service while learning real-world problem solving, collaboration, and project development.
Students can train on one of the six topics below.
All courses are developed by AT&T in collaboration with Public Library Association.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Training will take place right in your community. Groups will select the courses, location, dates, and times that work best for them.
The Teens Teach Tech program is actively accepting applications through the end of 2023. The mentors are required to attend a virtual orientation training with our mentor guide within a month of registration to review their application and discuss their project ideas.
