Help Older Adults get Tech Savvy. . .in just an hour! One of the top unmet needs of Older Adults on the Peninsula is training on how to better use their technology devices. This is our 3rd Annual Tech Training Day of Older Adults. In 1:1 sessions, each volunteer will guide an Older Adult how to:

- Learn basics of using his or her laptop, tablet or smartphone
- Communicate with loved ones on Skype or Facetime OR
- Create a social network on Facebook

You only need a basic knowledge of the technology of your choice. You will be teamed with one Older Adult and one local junior high school volunteer who will serve as the “sales engineer” who knows all the bells and whistles of each technology. The Older Adults love working with Stanford Alums and appreciate that we work at their pace without rushing.

Do volunteer for the whole day or just the morning (9:30am-noon) or afternoon (noon-2:30pm). 

Please email Millie to let me know any dietary restrictions and/or if you can only volunteer for one shift.

Sutter Health is graciously providing lunch for all volunteers.

Here’s to another great day of service!
