Older Adults and Technology
Twenty years ago, only 14% of adults over the age of 65 were internet users. Today that number has skyrocketed to well over 75%.
Despite this increase, there remain barriers for many older adults. As a tech mentor, you can help alleviate many of these barriers.
Older Adults & Mentoring
Mentor relationships with older adults are an opportunity for shared learning and growth.
Supporting an older adult with technology is an opportunity to form strong connections with the older adults in your community and develop skills that you can use in other aspects of your life.
