You can help older adults keep up with today's technology.
Computer skills are becoming more and more necessary for older adults. Make a difference in the lives of mature adults by volunteering as a Connections instructor or in a supporting role. A good working knowledge of the computer is important, but you don't need to be an expert; your enthusiasm and patience are what matter most! With your help, older adults can learn to:
- Access benefits and services online
- Succeed in the workplace
- Manage their finances
- Stay connected with family and friends
