Seniors in Cyberspace

By introducing technology via the use of computers and the internet, this program creates opportunity for older generations to:

learn something new/current, which draws upon their past experiences through activities that have meaning for them, such as reminiscing, hobbies and family.
connect with the younger generation volunteering with them, one on one, building a trusting relationship that fosters development of mutual positive learning experiences through computer usage.
gain a sense of control over their learning activities and the relationship they develop with their volunteer Internet Coach.

Volunteers have an opportunity to:

share their knowledge and information technology expertise
gain new skills through friendly visiting
gain Canadian experience while networking with professionals
obtain credits towards secondary school diploma requirements
make new friends and have fun!
