Volunteer with Tech Easy- Teaching technology to seniors
Youths Helping Seniors
Tech-Easy is a volunteer-based community service organization initiated by teenagers who enjoy helping out seniors and playing around with modern technology. Seniors are often put aside when it comes to technological advancements; nevertheless, many of them would like to join the trend but do not have the ideal environment to do so. This is where Tech-Easy comes in. As youths, we have time, passion, and familiarity with computer technologies. Based in Burnaby, B.C., Canada, we visit senior houses and communities regularly to provide free service.See Ms Giraud in counseling for more info
