We are seeking a volunteer who wants to visit a senior apartment complex in Anaheim, California, to provide social companionship and teach residents how to use their computers, tablets and smartphones. You do don't have to be a technology expert, just know the basics like how to set up an email, text, facebook, etc. Training provided!
Through technology tutoring volunteers make a difference by teaching seniors how to stay connected to loved ones via technology!
