Technology moves fast, but getting a helping hand doesn't have to be complicated. The Yorkville branch hosts its Seniors E-Connect program, bridging generations by pairing older adults with trained teen volunteers for personalized digital assistance.
What to Expect
Participants can bring their own smartphones, tablets, or laptops and receive patient, one-on-one guidance on everyday tech hurdles. Whether you want to master sending photo attachments to family, understand messaging apps, or navigate basic email settings, the student volunteers are there to walk you through it step-by-step in a relaxed setting.
Practical Info
Sessions take place at the Yorkville branch located at 22 Yorkville Avenue, right in the heart of the neighbourhood. Please note that while general device and software help is welcomed, assistance with printers and printing hardware is not provided. It's a fantastic, community-focused initiative that gives local youth a chance to share their digital fluency while helping seniors feel more connected.
