Technology Tutoring for Seniors
Volunteers are needed to assist seniors in learning the basics of using their cellphones, tablets or laptops! Technology is essential for staying connected to loved ones in today's world. Our goal is to make sure that seniors stay connected to the community as they age. By teaching seniors simple functions likes how to text, email or check voicemails. You don't have to be a super tech savvy person, just knowing the basics is enough.
