VCI Cyber-Seniors is an amazing opportunity to connect youth and young adult volunteers within the community with seniors seeking to learn the ins and outs of modern technology. Such topics will include electronic communication, social media platforms, and other savvy technological advancements that seniors may not have exposure to, or simply need that extra bit of help maneuvering. We are currently seeking youth and young adult volunteers to be our mentors and classroom instructors.
It is an eight week program, requiring two hours of volunteer dedication, one day a week from 9/14 to 11/2. A laptop will be provided for use in the classroom per each mentor/participant, and other various teaching materials. A required volunteer training class will take place the Saturday prior to the first session. Please consider dedicating your time and help us bring the modern world of technology to our local community of seniors.

We are the leading organization for senior volunteerism in the greater Central Florida area, serving Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties.

Previously known as Florida Senior Programs, VCI has been the sponsoring agency for the REtired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) and Foster Grandparent Programs since 1977. Our 36 year presence has proven our aptitude for providing meaningful and impactful volunteer experiences.
VCI provides membership benefits and support to volunteers aged 55+, at no cost to the volunteers or their volunteer stations. Just a few of the benefits of membership include: Supplemental insurance while volunteering, a dedicated coordinator, and matching to find the perfect position to fit the interest of the volunteer.
