Technology Training Program

Glover Park Village in a collaborative relationship with DOROT and their tech training program, will help us train volunteers to help our seniors with technology challenges. This program will help our GPV seniors wade their way through the confusing world of email, texting, computer issues and other basic tech skills.

Tech coaching visits to our seniors for training may be offered in person or on Zoom depending on the need and skill level of the service recipient. Visits focus on learning the basics of common technology devices or applications, such as Zoom, FaceTime, email, text or downloading and installing apps. Volunteers can assist with a smart phones, tablets or computers. You and your match can meet for a one-time session, or multiple visits depending on learning needs and schedules. DOROT's technology guides will be available for selected topics.

We are always seeking volunteers to help with this program! The ideal volunteer is patient, comfortable with computers, tablets and/or smartphones, and enthusiastic about helping older people. DOROT provides our volunteers with orientation and training (via zoom) so no special expertise is required.
