What is the NetMaster Program?
The NetMaster Program is an excellent opportunity for you to teach library patrons how to use computers, software and the Internet in KCLS libraries. The program prepares enthusiastic and knowledgeable volunteers as NetMasters to help achieve our goal of providing free and relevant computer instruction to patrons. Instruction takes place in group classes or One-on-One Assistance sessions at most KCLS library branches.
KCLS staff develops class manuals and training exercises for the NetMaster Program. Explore public training materials below:

What Qualifications Do I Need?
Your enthusiasm to become a NetMaster is the most important thing! Volunteers should have basic knowledge in the area where they plan to teach, but they don't need to be computer experts. What's most important is attitude: patience, kindness and the ability to explain computer information in a simple, clear fashion. NetMaster applicants must be at least 18 years old.
