At Bridge, we are a one stop shop for technology resources, repairs and digital education. We focus on providing tech resources and education to the most vulnerable people, including seniors, veterans, and low-income families. Our current program's mission is to provide digital skills training to all Los Angeles County Senior Centers. We hope you can match our compassion and patience to help seniors meet their tech goals and literacy.

We are seeking volunteers for two types of experiences that can help you develop both your soft and technical skills. Volunteers interested in hands-on computer skills will work with our IT manager to collect, organize, recycle, refurbished computers and electronics. Our digital skills program will help volunteers practice their public speaking and interpersonal skills with a multi-generational and diverse demographic.

DIGITAL LITERACY FOR ALL!
