ABOUT THE PROJECT

LOGLINE
Cyber-Seniors began as a high-school project in 2009 and inspired an award-winning documentary film that has been broadcast in 40 countries and screened in over 500 communities world-wide.

SYNOPSIS
Cyber-Seniors’ mission is to bridge the digital divide and connect generations through technology. It does so through the development and dissemination of resources that enable community organizations to provide tech-training for senior citizens using an intergenerational, youth volunteer model. Youth are provided with lessons and learning activities to train them to act as digital mentors, and senior citizens gain access to effective technology training and intergenerational communities that keep them socially connected and engaged.

With programs that have expanded across the world and thousands of young people that have been trained to act as tech-mentors for senior citizens, Cyber-Seniors is uniquely positioned to play a lead role in helping seniors stay safe and connected during this unprecedented time.

Established in 2015, the organization grew out of the recognition of the need for older adults to remain socially connected and self-sufficient, and in the wake of COVID-19, their work has never been more important and relevant.

Cyber-Seniors appreciates your support so that they may continue to help senior citizens and other vulnerable people during this crisis.

All donations are tax-deductible in the United States.
