MCPS Students Needed to Teach Tech to Senior Citizens

Montgomery Community Media hosts Senior Smart Classes at Senior Centers. Senior Smart is an impactful and beneficial workshop where local teens and seniors unite through a technology-driven learning experience. These sessions work to bridge the generational gap and empower seniors with essential technological skills while nurturing meaningful connections with youth.

We are in need of several high school students (preferably juniors and seniors) who can meet our instructors at the location of our class. Interested students must be enthusiastic about working with senior citizens and unquestionably trustworthy - being patient and willing to teach are necessary for success. Volunteers should also be able to responsibly use a smartphone, an iPad or other small technology equipment like a laptop, tablet, or other cell phone.

This volunteer opportunity is for SSL hours. A volunteer must be able to stay for the entire shift on the date, and multiple dates can be attended, but not mandatory.

Date of Volunteer Opportunity:

• Tuesday, March 3, 2026 2:00 - 5:00 pm (at Gardens of Traville, Building B)
