I'm managing a Cyber Senior program where volunteers teach seniors about technology (computer, tablet, cellphone). I'm starting an handbook/manual with step-to-step instructions on how to do simple task like texting, taking, picture, downloading apps, youtube... Most of these instructions can be found online but they need to be simplify to shorter and simplier directions for seniors to understand. I really need more hands to help me completing this handbook. You can volunteer at home and at your own time.
Feel free to contact me, Katie, if you have any questions at 562-637-7105 or ktran@scanhealthplan.com
