Summary of Job:
The Supportive Older Women’s Network (SOWN) iConnect program will provide a digital literacy program for an extremely undeserved population in this area, grandparents raising grandchildren. SOWN’s iConnect program will provide much needed digital literacy through supportive workshop series designed specifically for our grandparents to promote inclusion and bridge the digital divide. Many of our grandparents have limited computer skills. Grandparents recognize and express concern that they need to understand, monitor, and keep up with their grandchildren’s use of technology. This would also include accessing grandchildren’s progress reports, attendance, and grades at school; linking to grandchildren’s electronic health records at their doctor’s; applying for summer programs, job training, scholarships, and financial aid; even accessing high school and college applications for their grandchildren.
The iConnect Program will provide three cycles of a six-session (1 hour/session) workshop series over the grant period for grandparents raising grandchildren to enhance their digital literacy. The iConnect Program will be using the Sip and Swipe Café App by Generations On Line.
As a Digital Literacy Videographer, you will help to record the iConnect Program for SOWN’s promotional use. This important role is valuable to the SOWN community as we feel it is imperative that we embrace all forms of media to raise awareness of our organization.

Mission Statement
For 30+ years SOWN has pioneered innovative solutions to enhance the quality of life of adults 50+ and their families. SOWN builds strong community social support networks that enable older adults (mostly women) to function independently, live healthier lives, cope with problems, reduce isolation, decrease depression and build community. SOWN's intervention model provides a venue for re-creating or strengthening needed social connections. SOWN's network of on-going peer groups create a lifeline for individuals who are caregivers, coping with chronic health issues, or aging in place. SOWN provides peer groups in over 25 different community locations throughout Philadelphia. SOWN plans to continue to innovate and develop effective ways to enhance older adults' ability to function independently, prevent isolation, maintain roles in their families/communities and improve their families' lives.
Description
Founded in 1984 SOWN pioneered the critical linkage between older women's health and emotional well being. SOWN has since created strong community networks that enable older adults and their families to function independently, live healthier lives and age in their homes and communities.
SOWN provides peer groups for older women at over 25 community sites in Philadelphia. SOWN's unique model builds on the strengths of olders and communities. Our peer groups and workshops create sustaining mechanisms for older adults and families to rely on over time.
