Jackson Heights, NY 11372
The Queens Center for Gay Seniors in Jackson Heights serves the LGBTQ+ community and their allies through meaningful programming, healthy meals and a space for companionship. We have four virtual reality headsets with which participants can explore the VR world. The right volunteer will be available Tuesdays during the rest of the summer. We would like you to be able to jump into the office for a VR training sometime before the first scheduled date on the calendar, Tuesday August 15th. If you already have experience with VR and are excited about its application, you'll really be able to spread the wonder of this technology. The guide (you) will interface using an iPad. Tech savviness would be helpful.
