Teeniors Organization to Offer Technology Lessons to Older Adults

Bernalillo County in New Mexico has partnered with the Teeniors organization to offer local seniors up to 30 free one-on-one technology lessons covering topics that include texting, calling, Zoom, and social media, reports KRQE . Teeniors includes tech-savvy teenagers and young adults that offer help so older adults and others can learn technology via personalized coaching. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, Teeniors has migrated from in-person coaching to total virtual coaching. "Now during coronavirus, seniors are more isolated than ever and need help to stay connected with their loved ones and their community," says Community Program Specialist Veronica Cordova on the Bernalillo County website. "We see this as a perfect union to help our most vulnerable populations receive the help they need to navigate a digital world."
