Cyber-Seniors

Cyber-Seniors connects tech-savvy teen mentors with older adults to help bridge the digital divide and improve quality of life. Teens teach. Older adults learn. Win-win.

Cyber-Seniors started in Toronto as a high school project, and then turned into a successful documentary film which sparked our nonprofit organization. We work with students, ages 15 and up, who know their way around the Internet, email and social media, and train them to become mentors for older adults who want to learn how to better use computers, tablets and smart phones. The program offers students the opportunity to receive community service hours, teaching and leadership experience, internship leads, even public speaking and writing opportunities. Truly interested students may even explore other more in-depth volunteer opportunities.
