The goal of Cyber-Seniors is to bridge the technological gap that isolates older generations from younger generations by empowering everyone to assist the older adult population in learning how to use a computer, communicate through email, and use social media.

- Community service hours
- Leadership experience
- Weekly prizes
- The intangible fulfillment of impacting someone’s life
As a mentor you will teach older adults:
- How to type
- How to email

- ... and filling any gaps in their knowledge of technology!
We need your help to combat social isolation by reconnecting older adults with their families and friends!

Mission Statement
Our mission: "Improving Lives Through Volunteerism."
Description
We are the leading organization for senior volunteerism in the greater Central Florida area, serving Orange, Osceola, Seminole and Volusia counties. Just last year, 1,186 caring adult volunteers gave 438,683 hours of service. That is more than $9.5 million dollars worth of volunteer service being poured back into our communities.
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.
