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. Tech mentors can help alleviate many of these barriers.
Older Adults & Mentoring
This is an opportunity for shared learning and growth.
Form strong connections with a tech-savvy person in your community and develop skills that you can use in other aspects of your life.
CIDE's "Supporting Older Adults through Relationships and Resources (SOARR) with Technology" project is made possible by the support of the Daniels Fund
