Our Mission
We aim to empower senior citizens to understand and use all forms of modern technology, including computers, phones, smart devices, the Internet, and more. We believe that technology can only be equitable if people from all backgrounds and age groups know how to use electronic devices.
How we started
Tech For Seniors is a nonprofit organization that was started in early 2024 by high school students in the Northern Virginia area. Since then, we have greatly expanded our impact, and our organization can be found in communities across 6 states and 2 countries.
