Do you love working with technology? Would you like to help older adults work through their technology problems? 2Life Communities is looking for patient and enthusiastic volunteers to provide tech support for our older adult residents. Examples include email and internet support, downloading apps, finding lost programs/document; recovering lost passwords, finding bookmarks, and adjusting settings. Many of our residents speak Russian, Mandarin and Cantonese but it is not a requirement of volunteers to speak these languages to provide help.
Our 2Life Brighton Tech Support Club is every Friday from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at our Brighton Campus, 30 Wallingford Road, Brighton, 02135. If you want to sign up or ask more questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at kwhite@2lifecommunities.org

About 2Life Communities
Location:
30 Wallingford Road, Boston, MA 02135, US
Mission Statement
Inspired by Jewish values, 2Life Communities welcomes seniors from all backgrounds and enables aging in communities of engagement, connection and purpose by: Providing superior housing that is broadly affordable. Continually evolving support services to meet the needs of our diverse residents as they age. Building connections and community within our walls and in our surrounding neighborhoods. Promoting aging in community as a first choice.
Description
2Life Communities, a nonprofit organization founded in 1965, operates on the belief that all seniors should have the opportunity to live a full life of connection and purpose in a dynamic, supportive environment - a model we call aging in community, which directly combats the growing public health crisis of social isolation and loneliness amongst older adults.
At 2Life Communities, residents can step out the doors of their own apartments and find friendship, community, physical and intellectual stimulation, and a helping hand day or night. Serving a diverse population of 1,500 older adults, 2Life creates communities with a laser sharp focus on affordability - a tremendous concern given that Massachusetts is the state with the 2nd largest gap in the U.S. between seniors’ median income and the cost of living.
