What happens when the digital natives of today meet the technology pioneers of yesteryear? They create a circuit of positive energy. If you’re a senior citizen struggling with modern technology, the Youngsters program at the Mornington Library run by Youngster.co is here to bridge the digital divide.
Every Tuesday between May 2 and June 6 from 1-3pm, tech-savvy teenagers from Mornington Secondary College will be at the library providing one-on-one help to anyone who needs it. The Youngsters can help with a wide range of issues; whether you need help setting up a new device, learning how to use social media, transferring photos, or creating and uploading PDFs, the Youngsters will help save the digital day.
But this isn’t just about tech support – it’s also about bringing the community together. The intergenerational program aims to address social issues such as youth unemployment and isolation among older adults while offering much-needed technology help. In return, seniors can impart their wisdom and life experiences to the Youngsters. It’s a win-win situation that creates connections, friendships, and sparks of joy.
