Coastal Maine Regional Broadband and BoomerTECH Adventures have teamed up to present “Empowering the Helper Part II.” This free tech training addresses the ever-evolving digital world and is designed for frontline tech support staff and volunteers at libraries, town offices, affordable housing, community and senior centers, and other nonprofits.
The training is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23, at Lincoln County Regional Planning Commission, 297 Bath Road, Wiscasset.
Part II will focus on internet safety and settings, social media, apps such as the Google Universe, and developing a volunteer base. In this interactive event, BoomerTECH educators and workshop participants will share resources and strategies to help staff and volunteers keep up-to-date about digital devices and best practices to assist the public with a variety of technology questions. Participation in the Part I session is helpful but not a prerequisite. A desire to help your community and interest in technology is the primary requirement.
To register for this free training, visit cmrb.me. Questions can be sent to Julie Casson, community digital planner at Coastal Maine Regional Broadband at jcasson@cmrb.me.

We believe it’s important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It’s a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others. Read more...
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
By joining the conversation, you are agreeing to our commenting policy and terms of use. More information is found on our FAQs.
