Impact Details

Programs, events, and donations

Three programs, one goal: hands-on help for seniors, learning for kids, and devices in the hands of people who need them.

Work With Seniors

Our Work With Seniors

We teach practical tech skills that help seniors feel more confident and connected. Our sessions focus on patience, safety, and real-life tasks like calling family, managing settings, and staying in touch.

Monthly Tech Support

We visit 5 Star Premier Residences monthly to provide personalized technology assistance for senior residents. Our volunteers help seniors with their devices, teaching them essential digital skills and answering questions in a patient, supportive environment.

Digital Safety Workshops

We conducted digital safety workshops at the Palace at Weston, teaching seniors how to recognize scams, avoid phishing attempts, and protect their personal information online. Our interactive sessions empowered seniors to navigate the digital world safely.

Personalized Tech Assistance

We provide one-on-one tech support for senior residents at Palomino Gardens. Our volunteers assist with phones, iPads, and laptops, helping with everything from setting up email and video calls to organizing photos and adjusting accessibility settings.

Work With Kids

Hands-on sessions introducing game design principles and beginner-friendly tools for over 100 participants. Co-led with the American Heritage Game Dev Club to showcase student projects and mentor peers.
