This program is designed for older adults who want to better understand their devices, learn common tech terms, and feel safer navigating the internet.

Sessions are slow-paced, hands-on, and supportive, with a lead instructor and volunteers available to help one-on-one. We focus on practical skills, real-world examples, and plenty of time for questions, discussion, and social connection.

Topics include:

1)Intro to Tech Basics: Tech Lingo & Navigation

2) Intro to Online Safety Part 1: Social Engineering & Top Scams

3) Intro to Online Safety Part 2: Identifying Scams Online

4) Intro to Online Safety Part 3: Recap & Feedback

Each session wraps up with coffee, treats, and time to connect with each other.
