About this Opportunity

The Tech for Seniors initiative is dedicated to getting tablets into the hands of isolated older adults who wouldnt otherwise be able to afford one themselves. During the pandemic older adults who were already experiencing isolation suddenly became further challenged to remain connected when they were cut off from the outside world. In best efforts to alleviate the devastating loneliness, Tech for Seniors was launched. Volunteers pre-load donated tablets with video conferencing software, networking opportunities, several mind-occupying apps, and other entertainment options. The in-store purchasing function may also be disabled so less tech savvy seniors are not exploited by scammers.
Tech for Seniors, a program of Gifts for Seniors, offers two programs in pursuit of our mission to alleviate social isolation and loneliness.
- Our Partner Tablet Program provides shareable tablets and support programs to aging service providers.
- The Senior Tablet program provides a tablet and services for older adults who live independently.
This opportunity is available throughout the year!
