Help your older neighbors increase their independence and social connections through technology!
DOROT’s One-to-One Tech Coaching program matches friendly and patient volunteers with older adults eager to use their smartphones to stay socially connected and access the resources they need for independent aging in our increasingly digital world. Teach basic smartphone apps and skills such as texting, email, using maps for navigation and communicating through WhatsApp or Facetime.
Tech expertise is not required! But, volunteers should be comfortable with smart phones and enjoy sharing their skills with late tech adopters. DOROT provides training and a detailed teaching guide. Volunteers commit to a minimum of 8 weekly visits to an older adult who lives in Manhattan. If you are interested, visit DOROT’s website to sign up a volunteer orientation on January 8th or 21st at https://dorotusa.org/orientationregistration. For more information, or if you are an older adult (over age 65) and are interested in getting help with your smartphone, give us a call at 917-441-3706.
