In collaboration with St. Patrick Senior Center
Bringing digital literacy and support to Detroit's senior community
Our Impact
Through direct support and systemic advocacy, we're working to ensure no senior is left behind in the digital transition.
250+ Seniors Assisted
22 Classes Taught
4 Years Running
Our Approach
Combining direct volunteer support with observational research to create lasting impact.
Direct Support
We pull up a chair, go click by click, and keep the pace slow enough that nobody feels rushed or embarrassed to ask questions.
Psych-Based
Lessons stack in an order that sticks: repeat the action, celebrate the win, breathe, then periodically review to stay on top of the forgetting curve.
Listening While We Teach
We jot down every confusing label or hidden button and pass along the real stories so teams know what actually trips people up.
Resource Development
Handouts sound like a friendly volunteer: plain steps, screenshots, and scribble room for notes between classes.
Platform Advocacy
When something is hard, we tell the company with screenshots, stories, and suggested fixes until the update ships.
Backup Plans
Password cards, trusted contacts, simple checklists, little safety nets that keep progress steady even on tough days.
