Brisbane Seniors Online Association Inc. (BSOL) is a not-for-profit volunteer organisation that provides mentoring to members in the Greater Brisbane area on how to live in an increasingly online world. This covers how to use online services (e.g. email, train timetables, maps) and devices (e.g. smartphones, computers). People can join as a Learner (receives mentoring), Mentor (delivers mentoring), or Associate (volunteers in the office, publicity, recruitment etc).
Learners pay an establishment fee and then a yearly membership fee to receive a set number of hours of mentoring annually. Learners are matched to a Mentor with appropriate knowledge to address the Learner’s needs. The mentoring is provided at a mutually agreed time and location, including at the Learner’s home, a local library, or BSOL’s Office.
All members can also access any of the special interest groups (from the menu select Groups) or online resources (from the menu select About then Member Resources).
Note:
We don’t provide technical support, computer repairs, maintenance, or training for commercial purposes.
